Filtering datatable

bkbreddy

Hi, I am using Data Table. I want to filter the table with first character of the word. For example. if I have words like apple, bat, cat and I enter the letter 'a' in search and filter then the result should be only 'apple' but not bat and cat. But presently I am getting all the above three as 'a' contains in all. Please help me in this.

regular expression filtering: http://www.datatables.net/examples/api/regex.html

use ^a (^ is regex indicator for beginning of line)
