Thanks alot, Davina.

I tried

   . name: ^st
   show name
   print

and it worked finely.

Well, if nsradmin supports regular expressions, how would you code a query, 
which looks in unix as follows:

"^st[c,e]"

I tried

   . name: ^st[c,e]

but the result was nothing. How far would Networker support regular expressions?


     Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards
