Filtering data that contains the Pipe '|' character

[sydneyParticipant]

Hi,

We are using the enterprise version 3.6.0 and are having the exact same issue as mentioned in the topic : Filtering data that contains “|” pipes.

Quoting the question :

We are having an issue with filtering on grids. We are presenting data that contains a pipe “|” and using the built in filter functionality in jqgrid. 
Lets assume the rows look like: “M:DRM|S:E|L:1|Z:10”, If I were to enter “M:DRM” into the filter textbox, it will filter correctly to the rows which contain “M:DRM”.
Now if I were to enter “M:DRM|” or “M:DRM|S” it will show all rows or all rows containing “M:DRM|S” respectively.
I would like for the filtering to treat the “|” as any other character.
How can I overcome this, I do not require “|” to be applied as an “OR” in the filter.

The response provided was :

Hi emdz,
The feature which you want to be turned off cannot be turned off in this version. | in the filter input is considered as OR.

So my question is, with the latter versions of jqxGrid, is there any way to turn off the pipe ‘|’ filter?

Thanks,
Sydney M

Hi Sydney M,

No, there is no built-in property to turn off this functionality off. If you want to turn it off, you will have to make modifications in jqxgrid.filter.js file.
