Hi I have objects with random names for example box1-22-r or box-23-r
i am trying to create a script that looks for the "22" in the name and selects them all
so if i have box1-22-r, bag-22-r it will select them and not select the other objects
like searching for string name "22"
this is what i came with so far but no luck
(
waveName = "22" as string
select (execute ("$" + waveName + "*"))
)
thanks in advance

This is the proper way to do it:
(
waveNameStr = "22"
objsToSelArr = for o in objects where (matchPattern o.name pattern:("*"+waveNameStr+"*")) collect o
select objsToSelArr
)
