Both those return zero

I suggest you do a /hfree -w table , i would assume you have a table item also called prince or somethingprince which is trigegring that.

I cant work out what you really want to do, so i can only say....

Based apon only the above existing in the table...
$hfind(table,*prince,0,w).data is zero since a item value ending in prince doesnt exist
$hfind(table,prince*,0,w).data is one since a item value begining in prince does exist

$hfind(table,prince,0).data <- searches the data for 'prince'
$hfind(table,*prince,0,w) <- searches the items for '*prince'

$hfind doesn't return the data with the .data property, it searches through it. Asuming you want to return the data for 'prince' in the first case you need to do:
$hget(table,$hfind(table,prince))

Hope this helps.

You could use the 'r' switch but it makes the search case-sensitive unless you wrap it in /<match>/i, or precede it with (?i)<match>

//echo -a $hfind(table,prince,0,r).data
