Collection by hostname

[Don Davis <don-n-darla@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

Phil,
NetView V5 allows you to use wild cards for comparisons.

V5 example for all nodes that the Selection Name starts with ABCD:
     (('Selection Name' ~ '^ABCD) && ('isNode' = True))

V4 does not allow wild cards, however, you can accomplish what you ask with inequalities.
This is an example that I have used on V4.

   (((' Selection Name'  >= 'ABCD') && ('Selection Name' <= 'ABCDzzzz')) && ('isNode' = True)))

Note: lowercase zzzz place-holders because of higher decimal equivalent than ZZZZ
If you have longer hostnames, use more zzzzzzzz.
You can substitute IP Hostname for Selection Name.
