Hi, in my database I store RTF files inside a Bytea field. Now a customer is requesting a search inside RTF fields and I'm trying to implement it by issuing this query: select * from my_table where cast(rtf_field as varchar) like '%condition%' This works ok when the condition doesn't include accented chars. RTF escapes accented characters as "\'f1" for í, "\'f3" for ó, and so on. To escape \ and ', I'd read it shuld be used \\ and '', so I thaugth that a like '%diagn\\\\''f3stica%' should get "diagnóstica", but it doesn't. Any hint on this? -- Leonardo M.
