2 years ago @tidwall Got it, thanks for the explanation. I was also surprised that escaping other characters has no effects. For example #(\a\!\=e>15)# does work too.

Actually it is documented in (SYNTAX.md). Maybe a short note on escaping should be added to the README.md too

2 years ago @lammel thanks, I had actually read the paragraph of the documentation that you linked above, but because it's right underneath the Wildcards section and it mentions the same specific characters, I had interpreted it as referring exclusively to those three characters. But I see now that reading it in isolation it can also be read as a more generic escaping method.
Maybe making that a bit more explicit in the docs could avoid any misinterpretation.
Given the following JSON:
It seems to not be possible to query for say all items with the value of
"a!=e"greater than 15. Things I've tried:#(a!=e>15)#->[]#("a!=e">15)#->[]The workaround I found is to use wildcards (
#(a??e>15)#), but wildcards might not allow to solve all possible scenarios. If this is an intended limitation maybe it should be mentioned in the readme/syntax page.
