If there's something missing or unclear, definitely let me know and I'll be glad to help out ]]> https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#4 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:35:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#4 CheckCentral Sorry, my first reply wasn't quite correct, as the spaces are treated as an implied "OR." Something like this would work better:

"Server.local Backup-0" +Incremental

Hopefully that works for you, but if not, please let me know! ]]> https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#3 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:33:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#3 CheckCentral Do y'all have a detailed document for how the complex match works? Something more detailed than the (?) button ]]> https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#2 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:28:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052#2 CheckCentral It sure is! If you change the middle drop-down on the criterion to "Complex Match," you can then enter it like so:

Server.local Backup-* Incremental

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 03:04:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.checkcentral.cc/Discussions/View/checking-a-string-with-changing-numbers/?ID=5faf547a-7bff-435c-a790-a6b6424cd052 CheckCentral I need to search for a string from a backup appliance, but the job ID will change each time within the string.

Is it possible to replace individual characters with wildcards that specify numbers?

Example

Server.local Backup-0? Incremental

0? would stand for any number 00000 - 09999 ]]>
