Universal Management Suite (UMS) can help you manage large thin client installations. Often you will want to search or filter for objects with certain properties, and UMS offers a wide selection. For advanced searches, however, you might need Regular Expressions, a powerful feature built into UMS.
You can use them in:
- Quick Search
- Misc > Search
- Views > New View
- Edit > Edit Configuration > System > Registry > Search parameter ...
- UMS Administration > Global Configuration >Default Directory Rules
UMS uses Java Regular Expressions. These are different from the globbing patterns that you may know from the DOS/Windows Command Prompt or the Linux commandline. For example, instead of using *
to match any number of characters, in UMS you use:
.*
Here the .
matches any character. The *
acts as a quantifier, stating how often the preceding pattern may occur, in this case zero or more times.
So, if you want to find something that begins with IGEL, use:
IGEL.*
Something begining with IGEL and ending with 12:
IGEL.*12
If you want to find something ending with IGEL:
*.IGEL
