[tcf-dev] Basic wildcard for context query comparators

["Coutand, Manuel" <Manuel.Coutand@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

It would be usefull to have a basic wildcard/regexp capability in the context query name and id comparators.

 

for example if I have a system with these three contexts:

 

/board/cpu[0]

/board/cpu[1]

/board/memory

 

I would like to be able to get my CPUs using a context query.

 

This could be achieved without adding the full regexp syntax just by for example handling a * at the end of a string as a wildcard

 

for example: contextquery: '/board/cpu*' would match both CPU contexts

also the context query parsing could be done so: contextquery: '/board/"cpu["*' too would match both CPU contexts.

 

What are your thoughts on such a wildcard?

 

Regards,

Manuel.
