NLS query with wildcard in it

Hello,

I would like to use * in part of a query, but this doesn't seem to work.

Code: Select all

Example query: type:"eventlog" AND hostname:"exch*.domain"
The above would then get me al the eventlogs of the exch hosts exchdc01.domain and exchac01.domain and exchac02.domain

Grtz

Willem

Does it work if you don't use the quotes?

Code: Select all

type:eventlog AND hostname:exch*.domain

Troy,

I'm not getting any results using your suggestion.

Code: Select all

type:eventlog AND hostname:exch*.domain.be
The only way i'm getting a result if I specify the full hostname. Are you sure wildcards are supported by nls?

Grtz

Yes, but perhaps not exactly in the way one might expect them to.

See if this logic produces the desired result:

Code: Select all

type:eventlog AND hostname:exch* AND hostname:*.domain
Otherwise, if you could provide some sample events with the hostname field highlighted I can play around with this.
