st: Can you search within a dataset for a particular character?
I have a dataset of names stored as string variables. Is there any way to
search the dataset for all data containing a particular character, a hyphen
for example? Also, is there any way to search the same dataset for all
names containing a space (as in last names with a space between them ex.
von cannon)? Thank you!
