Textual Pattern Matches(5.0)

In resemblance to Regular Expressions, when searching through text strings of names and other textual patterns in mzcli, two characters help you filter text according to wo characters certain criteria:

  • The asterisk '*' is a wildcard for one or more characters.

  • The question mark '?' is a wildcard for any single character.

Note!

If you want to use the '*' and '?' wildcards when you are not logged in, the wildcards have to either be enclosed with single or double quotation marks or preceded with a backslash '\'.

For example:

mzcli mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist \*  will work.

mzcli mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist "*" will work.

mzcli mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist * -mode D will not work.

The period '.' punctuation mark is not a wildcard and is treated as a normal punctuation mark character.
