Hmmm. If you have a record with both ((either an M or a 3) and (form == <blank>)), then I'm not sure what's wrong. You should be able to just include a blank space between the brackets (alone or in addition to other possible values) and have it find them. In limited testing:

For the LDRs below:

=LDR  01231nam  2200349   4500
=LDR  01019nam  2200289   4500
=LDR  01092nam  2200337M  4500
=LDR  01600nam  2200445 i 4500

"^.{17}[M3][ ]" selects the 3rd line (any level M or level 3 with blank form).
"^.{17}.[ ]" selects the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (any level with blank form).
"^.{17}[M3 ][ ]" selects the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (any level M, level 3, or blank with blank form).

I hope this helps, 

Bryan
