YES ! Thansk a lot !

AAMOF, it does not. The "~" operator works like in gawk (it seems), you don't 
need the wildcards, and so the proper answer is

WHERE HUC_11 ~ '02040101' 

Well, new problem: you can't precise what part of the string to match (start? 
end?), I guess that comes from the dbf driver limitations... Fair enough.

Thanks again !
