Pattern-matching

Here are some guidelines for using

CentreVu

CMS pattern-matching.

• If you know your entry begins with the letters “ ac,” you can type

DF in a description field. The asterisk ( ) matches any number of

characters that follow the “ac.” You might have several matches,

no match, or only one match. If you type only an  in a field, you

get a list of all entries in the

CentreVu

CMS database for that

particular field.

• You cannot use an  or " to search for strings in entity name input

fields that are labeled with (s) — for example, Split(s).

• A question mark ( ") matches a single character in the search

pattern. So if you type DF" in a field, the resulting matches would

be items in the

CentreVu

CMS database that begin with DF and

have three letters (for example, DFG).

• You can leave the field blank to get a list of all entries in the

CentreVu

CMS database for that particular field.

Number

A numeric entry can be a single item, a range, a list, or a combination

of range and list.

• Type a range by placing a hyphen between items (for example,

A numeric range cannot include more than 1000 numbers. For

example, 1000–1999, 1050–2049, and 2000–2999 are valid, but

1000–2000 is not valid.

• Type a list by placing a semicolon between entries (for example,
