Wildcard characters in get-opinion

Does anyone have the details on the use of wildcards with the cmdlet get-view?

for example

Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine-filter @{"Name" = "Server *"}

where I want to send all the virtual machines with starting with the name of the server

This does not work, but I don't know there is a syntax that is available to make it work

In the Get-View filter, you can use a set of regex expressions

Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine-filter @{"Name" = "^ Server"}

This will resturn each virtualmachine whose name starts with 'server '.

In VMware PowerCLI and Get-view filters , you will find some info.

How to use wildcard characters in the filter REMAINS for subscription items

I've followed this documentation:

String columns filters

Support the % operator (started by).

Support * operator (contains).

Can't stand (trimmed) operator.

Examples:

Name = service *.

Name = * g *.

Name = * g - unauthorized

URL OF THE REST:

http:// /RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription /=

I can get the filters to work without wildcards, but have had no success in using ' *' or '%' characters Please provide an example encoded URL appropriate for

ServiceItemTypeName starting with "virtual". I was not able to get all the data returned when using wildcard characters in a filter.

Here is what I tried:

ServiceItemTypeName = instant virtual server

http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/NSAPI/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=virtual%20Server%20Snapshot

answer: 200

literal works as expected

ServiceItemTypeName = virtual %

http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/NSAPI/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=virtual%25

Hi Dan,.

I don't think you can use wildcards here.

Please see the integration Guide to 9.4. Section: "REST API-> Quick Reference.

You will find a table of what features are supported for resources exposed by the API. There you will find a line for "All Service elements", and you will see that: get all the, sorting, paging and all filters are supported; Search for names of wildcards are not...

When I came across this situation, I guess I'm trying to do a generic name search here... and it is not supported. This, however, works for the other columns (Designer if created), which is what, in my view, that documentation is trying to describe. (Although, personally, I feel that it is a bug).

Open the file by using wildcard characters

Anyone know how to open a file by using wildcard characters in the name.

For example, a certain folder will contain a number of files, with the name built as follows:

CALDB_ then a serial number with 6 digits and then 14 characters, which could be ANYTHING. so it might look like this

CALDB_123456_33KA1234567890.txt

or

CALDB_123457_33KA1234567890.txt

The key part of the file name is the serial number of 6 digits that is unique and the CALDB_ which is always the same.

I would like to use a command file with the name of the file as something like CALDB_123456_*.txt, but it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Hi Dylan,.

Along our forum, I searched and found a similar question for the use of wildcards in file selection. An active user (unclebump) has responded to this request with a VI, with which you can select a folder on your computer that is scanned for some files. I adjusted this VI to select CALDB_ files *. You will find this file (zipped), including my attached test folder.

Maybe it will be useful for your application.

wildcard characters and blank lines

After you import a .docx file - well, sometimes we have to do these things - I was hoping to find the blank lines with the familiar (relatively) ^$ generic, but all this is managing to locate is empty cells in a table. Any tips?

Oops. My mistake. I wrote:

Search: \p| where I meant \P|

Replace: [empty]

Wildcard characters allowed

The case makes all the difference. There in the screen shot correctly, but I typed incorrectly.

When you have time, you can try it once again, FieryPantone? I tested on 2015 and have installed 12 at this point.

Find the name of the Cluster to get-opinion

Hello
I'm doing a list of cluster names and the number of hosts using get - views, but I can't figure out how I can get the name of the cluster to align the number of hosts.
I start with this...
$cluster = get-cluster | Get-opinion
then I can pull the number of hosts per cluster, using
$cluster.summary.numhosts
But it just shows a column of numbers. How can I get the name of the cluster next to it also?
Thank you
Scott

It must write what you are looking for on the screen...

$clusters = get-Cluster | Get-View

{foreach ($cluster in $clusters)

$cluster.name

$cluster.summary.numhosts

}

You should be able to manipulate that to export to a file, if necessary.

Using wildcard characters in the URL variables (very simple question, I know)

Hi all!
Pulling my hair out over this... How to use wildcard characters in the URL variables? I have this code in compositionReady (that works):
var myurl = " " http://www.mydomain.com/Sub1/Sub2/pagename ";
var currenturl = window.location
if(MyURL == currenturl) {}
sym.getSymbol("symbolname").play ();
}
It is simply the symbol "NomSymbole" play when the current URL corresponds to the variable 'myurl '. However, I want the symbol to play on all subpages of http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/ , and therefore, it seems logical to put in a wildcard as:
http://www.mydomain.com/Sub1/Sub2/ * or something similar, but I can't seem to make it work?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
:-)
Best,
Thomas

What of it?

var mysubdomain = "http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/";

var currenturl = window.location.toString ();

If (currenturl. IndexOf (MySubDomain) = 0) {}

sym.getSymbol("symbolname").play ();

}

Possible to use wildcard characters in passwords of pdf?

I'm working on a pdf using Acrobat 9 for Mac portfolio. Is it possible to set the password for the portfolio and the individual PDF within the portfolio to accept wildcard characters?
For example:
Password = 1234 X
ensure that 12344, 12345 or 1234 some would work.
As - is - it possible to have it ignore integers passed the password?
Thanks in advance.

None of these scenarios are possible with the passwords to Acrobat.

Wildcard characters can be used to search / replace (Ctrl + F)

With this: < a href = "#" >
Are there triggers or something where you can say any alpha or the digit or extended characters... are there special characters or setting?
Thank you very much for your help time

Hi time (?).

You can try this: l http://www.trentmueller.com/blog/search-and-replace-wildcard-characters-in-dreamweaver.htm, or you take Google your friend and research on "regular expression", like this:

Search by wildcard characters in the data store

I'm trying to search with a wildcard in a PDO data store.

This produces a result:

Back EMF Date: time 2012-08-20: 14:16:04

But that does not

Return *.

How can I use wildcards in a search for data store?

I guess that all of the following conditions must create correct results
```
Dim query: query set = store. CreateQuery

query. ReturnType = "measure".

query. Conditions.Add 'Measure', 'name', 'is', ' back. "

store. Search (Query)
```
```
store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = % rear", true)
```
```
store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = back *", false)
```
```
store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = back *")
```
Please take into account the fact that the PDO does not support case-insensitive query.

I assume you are using an AVL Puma. You may need to set a switch in advanced the PDO connection dialog box. 'Use as instead of GAME'.

In the connection setting, it appears as
```
YES
```

On initial Setup, I enter a computer name using only valid characters and get an error message saying that some characters are not valid.

I installed Win7 using a .wim that I used successfully several times before. The .wim is on my USB and the computer is not connected to the network. Using a disk to start Windows PE and imagex, I applied the image. When Windows 7 was started for the first time and prompted me to a computer name, I entered a name with only lower and upper case characters. An error message told me that some characters that I had used were not valid and listed the characters not valid, which I had used.

What is my next course of action?

I did a hard reboot and Windows later accepted my computer name.

This has been resolved.

any idea?

Hello, tdubb123-

Sure. While you might use a Foreach-Object scriptblock to call Get-View for each virtual computer in the cluster, since everyone likes things faster, you can use a single call to Get - view. As:
```
## get the VMs in the given cluster, put them in a variable, then get the Views$vms = Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMGet-View -Id $vms.Id
```
And you do not really need to store objects of VirtualMachineImpl of Get - VM in a variable - you can just get their ID properties and use them directly to Get-View, as:
```
## just get the Views of the IDs of the VMs in the given clusterGet-View -Id (Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VM).Id
```
But because the speed is often cause for concern, as virtual inventory is larger, move away from the appeal of Get - VM in total will be of great value. Get - view has one parameter - SearchRoot allows you to specify the location of inventory to use as the root of research, such as:
```
## get the VirtualMachine Views at the given search rootGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot (Get-Cluster $cluster).Id
```
And, to keep things efficient, since you probably only want to use some properties of choice of objects view VirtualMachine, you can speed things along by specifying only the properties you want to retrieve from the server vCenter, now in your PowerShell session lower memory usage, too. As:
```
## get the VirtualMachine Views at the given search root, retrieving just the select few propertiesGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Config.Hardware -SearchRoot (Get-Cluster $cluster).Id
```
A little more complicated to write, then you might chose the first couple of examples when issuing commands interactively. But if you write a script where you care more about the execution time, or have a large environment (or both), the last example is the winner.

Pull NOMCLUSTER of hash / / get-opinion

$clusters = get - view - viewtype ClusterComputeResource-name of the property
$clustershash = @ {}
$clusters | % {$clustershash. Add($_.moref.) ToString(), $_. Name)}
$clustershash
Notice-EEG - viewtype "hostsystem" - summary parent of the name property, |
Select name, parent, @{n = 'cluster'; e = {$clustershash.get_item($_.parent)}}, @{n = "uptime"; e = {(get-date) - $_.summary.runtime.boottime}} |
Sort descending uptime |
out-gridview

This is the script, but I can't seem to get the NOMCLUSTER pull out of the get-view statement. If I run things manually, through get-vmhost, it works, but in a statement online, it fails.

Thank you!

Try like this
```
$clusters=get-view -viewtype ClusterComputeResource -Property name$clustershash=@{}$clusters|%{$clustershash.Add($_.moref.Value,$_.name)}$clustershashget-view -viewtype "hostsystem" -property name, summary, parent |    select name, parent, @{n='cluster';e={$clustershash[$_.parent.Value]}}, @{n="uptime";e={(get-date) - $_.summary.runtime.boottime}} |    sort uptime -descending |    out-gridview
```
A MoRef is itself an object, use the property Value as a unique identifier.

Working with keys? Get-opinion

I explored info host and virtual machines with get-view and I'm not sure how to select items that come back as "Keys" I guess you have to make reference to?
For example, under config.option, it displays the Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot parameter for a host and I would like to query this value.
Normally I have a command that does something like this to query a setting but stuff like advanced host settings are there, but I am unable to access in this way.
Get-view ViewType - ClusterComputeResource-Name, property filter Configuration.DrsConfig.Enabled @{"Configuration.DrsConfig.Enabled" ="False"} | Select-Object @{N = "Name"; E={$_. Name}},@{name="DRS State; E={$_. Configuration.DrsConfig.Enabled}} | FT - autosize

The Config.Option property in an object HostSystem , consisting of an array of objects OptionValue .

Each of these objects OptionValue has 2 properties: key / value.

In the Key property, you will find the name of the property that you are after.

To get the property you are looking for, you could do

Get-view ViewType - HostSystem |

Select Name,@{N="CRTimeoutDuringBoot; E = {}

$_. Config.Option | where {$_.} Key - eq "Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot"} | Select value - ExpandProperty

}}

wildcard characters and thesaurus entries
I have a few keyword searches that the company wants to return several results, but currently they are fit only on 1 result.
So for example, if a user is looking for the part number 123, they want it back 1234, 12345, 12346, 12347 12348, etc.. But it is only part 1234.

Is an entry in the thesaurus of the best way to handle something like that? Is it possible to trigger a generic search using a thesaurus entry? Because a search of 123 * returns the greater part of what is wanted.
Ah yes, I thought you meant, you can configure an entry in dictionary of synonyms for 123--> 1234, 1235, etc.. To answer your question - No. If you want to do something like that, you would set up the merchandising rules (assuming you want the company to be able to configure it) and have the web application check the ENEQueryResults for a rule with generic = box and repeat the search as a wildcard.

How to increase speed vm - get get-opinion

Hello
I am new to PowerCLI.
I use the following script to get the VM inventory:
$outputFileVM = "D:\PowerShell_scripts\Inventory.csv".
$VMReport = @)
Get - vm | name sort | %{
$VM = get-view $_.ID
$row = "" | Select-Object VM_Name, VM_Host, VM_Host_Model, VM_Memory, VM_vCpu, VM_CpuLimit, VM_CpuShares
$row. VM_Name = $VM. Config.Name
$row. VM_Host = Get-VMHost - VM $_
$row. VM_Host_Model = Get-VMHost - VM $_. Get-View | % {$_. Hardware.SystemInfo.Model}
$row. VM_Memory = $VM. Config.Hardware.memoryMB
$row. VM_vCpu = $VM. Config.Hardware.numCPU
$row. VM_CpuLimit = $VM. Config.CpuAllocation.Limit
$row. VM_CpuShares = $VM. Config.CpuAllocation.Shares.Shares
$VMReport += $row
}
$VMReport | Export-Csv $outputFileVM - NoTypeInformation
This script runs very slowly. I read something about how to increase the speed by using get - view - viewType. But I do not know how to use for refactory this script.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Eduard.

To continue improvements LucD and him do run very fast, make use of get - view "-property" parameter and specify the properties of the VirtualMachine or ESX host that should be retrieved. "." This prevents all the properties that you are not interested in the use of be recovered and accelerating greatly from your code. In other words, replace your call to "Get - VM" with this:
```
  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Runtime.Host,Config.Hardware,Config.CpuAllocation
```
because you are only interested in the Name, Runtime.Host, Config.Hardware and Config.CpuAllocation of VirtualMachine properties. Replace your call to "Get-VMHost' in a similar way.
```
$outputFileVM = 'D:\PowerShell_scripts\Inventory.csv'
$VMReport = @()
Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Runtime.Host,Config.Hardware,Config.CpuAllocation | Sort-Object -Property Name | %{
     $row = "" | Select-Object VM_Name, VM_Host, VM_Host_Model, VM_Memory, VM_vCpu, VM_CpuLimit, VM_CpuShares
     $row.VM_Name = $_.Name
     $esx = Get-View $_.Runtime.Host -Property Name,Hardware.SystemInfo.Model
     $row.VM_Host = $esx.Name
     $row.VM_Host_Model = $esx.Hardware.SystemInfo.Model
     $row.VM_Memory = $_.Config.Hardware.memoryMB
     $row.VM_vCpu = $_.Config.Hardware.numCPU
     $row.VM_CpuLimit = $_.Config.CpuAllocation.Limit
     $row.VM_CpuShares = $_.Config.CpuAllocation.Shares.Shares
     $VMReport += $row
}
$VMReport | Export-Csv $outputFileVM -NoTypeInformation
```
