NAME
match - list database objects whose names match a wildcard expression
On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The match command lists all database objects whose names match one or more wildcard expression patterns. Each expression is matched independently against all object names in the database using standard path-matching wildcard rules (as used by bu_path_match):
-
*— matches any sequence of characters (including none) -
?— matches any single character -
[…]— matches any character in the set
The names of all matching objects are printed. If multiple expressions are given, the union of all matches is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. List all objects starting with "hull"
mged> match hull*
Lists all objects whose names begin with hull, for example: hull.r, hull.s, hull_backup.r.
Example 2. Match by suffix
mged> match *.r
Lists all objects whose names end in .r (typically regions).
Example 3. Multiple patterns
mged> match hull* turret*
Lists all objects matching either hull* or turret*.
