Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name Ref List

1

Vector Name

WildCard Selection Names

A wildcard name for the vectors to match.

3

tor should be used as the new vector name.

No source vector groups were provided.

 

Remarks

Argument 1 can reference a point name. Use Make a Point Name from Strings to manually enter the search criteria for the collection, vector group and point name wildcard.

Enter wildcard values for the collection, vector group, and vector name using the same conventions as elsewhere in SA. Asterisks (*) are wildcards for one or more characters, while question marks (?) are placeholders for single char- acters. Specific characters can also be found using brackets[]. To find all vectors from all collections in vector groups that start with ā€œsā€ and whose vector names have two digits starting with ā€œ1ā€, the vector name defining the selection criteria would be *::s*::1?.
