API Commands: Parameters


Simple Pattern

Text patterns can be used in the parameter pattern in info, select and view functions. So it is possible to specify a group of matching strings rather than a single string.

In a simple pattern, each character represents itself except for the star '*', which stands for any number of any characters (or none at all).

Example:

I*n
finds In, Innovation, Intuition or Identification


Multi Names

Multi names are strings, in which several names are concatenated, separated by new lines.
