Published Option

filters-allow-wildcards-in-values

Default Value: no
Valid Values: yes, no
Changes Take Effect: After restart

Specifies whether Stat Server accepts the wild-card characters * and ? in the <value> argument of PairExist functions in filters. If this option is set to yes, Stat Server interprets these characters as wildcards. If set to no, Stat Server interprets these as literal characters. Prior to release 7.5, Stat Server interpreted a <value> argument of "*" as any string and "*", embedded within a string, as a literal character.

For example, Stat Server interprets the PairExist(KY1, "Mr.*") function in one of two ways depending on the value of the filters-allow-wildcards-in-values option:

• As a function whose filter returns any statistic where the values for KY1 begin with Mr., if the value of this option is set to yes.
• As a function whose filter returns only those statistics where the value for KY1 is equivalent to the four characters Mr.* if the value of this option is set to no.

Stat Server interprets the PairExist(KY2, "*") filter as one where KY2 is equal to any number of characters regardless of the value of this option.
