Topic: Freezing layers using wild card characters

[enigma]

If I have numerous layers with the word “demo” contained within the description of the layer name how can I freeze all these layers even when the word demo may be located at the first of the name or at the middle or at the last place of the name? I tried *demo* and nothing happened.

Thanks
