Topic: Filtering Xdata using wildcards

[SamR]

Is it possible to filter the "XData" AppName including wildcards.
Ie.
 "MyAppName" & *  will return all the entities
 "MyAppName_DataSet1" & * will be a bit more specific

Edit: I'm rethinking whether this is necessary but can't delete the post.

You could iterate the RegAppTable and use a if statement with something like
RegAppTableRecord.Name.StartsWith("Whatever")
Then grab the entites that reference it

Hi,

You can use wilcard patterns with regapp names in a selection filter.

Code: [Select]

        [CommandMethod("Test")]
        public void Test()
        {
            Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
            TypedValue[] filter = { new TypedValue(1001,  "MyAppName*") };
            PromptSelectionResult psr = ed.GetSelection(new SelectionFilter(filter));
            if (psr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
            ed.SetImpliedSelection(psr.Value.GetObjectIds());
        }

ohh....that's something I probably should have tried.
Thankyou!
