Struggling to do something I am sure is easy. I have a series of objects named in the following manner "W-Wide Flange-Column W8X24 [7359266]" Where the number value is unique to each object. I would like to be able to select based off of just this number alone, so in this example, it would be 7359266. I have a series of these numbers I would like to select at once (up to hundreds at a time) to filter and group elements.
Is there a way to create selection sets based on partial names? I've only managed to get one name at a time. using the following structure:
select $'W-Wide Flange-Column W8X24 [7359266]'
Which when simplified resulted in
select $'*7359266*'
Following the same logic,
select #($'W-Wide Flange-Column W8X24 [5969230]', $'W-Wide Flange-Column W8X24 [7359266]', $'W-Wide Flange-Column W8X24 [5968839]')
However, using the same process as before does not work
select #($'*5969230*', $'*7359266*', $'*5968839*')
Ideally I would be able to read an external file or input a less formatted list but I will take whatever method I can get. I appreciate the help.
