Wildcard Values in MSSQL.DBNAME.NOT_MATCHES?

[techmattr]

If I add a partial DB name to this MACRO field will it pick up any DB with that partial? Example:



Will this ignore all databases with _Temp_ in the name?

If not, would *_Temp_* work?

Without wildcards it will look for exact match, not partial. So, yes. you need to use wildcards... * means "zero or more of previous"... so you should use ".*"

I still haven't been able to figure this out. Is there a way to exclude any database that contains _Temp_?
I assume the same logic would apply to the does not match Windows services as well.

I guess I'll try one last time to see if anyone knows this.

Is there any way to use wildcard values in the NOT_MATCHES macros?

I'm trying to get it sto stop reporting that GoogleUpdater is not running. Google Update has different versions depending on the version on the machine, (i.e. "GoogleUpdaterService124.0.6342.2") so I'm trying to get it to stop reporting on all versions. I can get it to stop reporting on a specific version if I include the name of the version, but only that version. I've tried the * wildcard (at the end), but it's not working....any ideas?

You quoted my post, where is the answer...
I'll repeat

* means "zero or more of previous"... so you should use ".*"
