Im trying to modify the AdHocGroupWizard.ojo, when we add computer names, depending where they come from may have 2 different prefixes

“hsrv” or “hprt” on the front of the name, currently we just strip them off and run the AdHocGroupWizard, I would like to check if it begins

with either of the 2 or neither

here is the original line

var rel = ‘ids of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = "’+ chomp(names+.toLowerCase()) + ‘")’;

the “hsrvserver01” is a computer name I paste into the AdHocGroupWizard which is above “chomp(names+.toLowerCase())”

ids of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = ((substring after “hsrv” of it) or (substring after “hprt” of it) of “hsrvserver01”))

(doesnt work…)

so i guess ultimately i’m trying to check if it starts with either of the 2 prefixes or not and then strip it off and check for a computer name

…

and where I want to go with this wizard, would to have a radio button that would allow me to choose either name or IP or any other identifying column per server

so it would be a little more flexible then just computer name

You can use this:

ids of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase starts with “hsrv” OR name of it as lowercase starts with “hprt”)

Here is another way that you could use that can work with multiple techniques:

ids of bes computers whose (";hprt;hsrt;" contains (";" & first 4 of name of it as lowercase & “;”))

Sorry I wasnt clear,

the computer name is normal (server01) a field called “CMDB Primary name” has the “hsrv” or the other in it, so I wanted to strip the name off the

input field and then check it against the computer name

the “hsrvserver01” is a computer name I paste into the AdHocGroupWizard which is above “chomp(names+.toLowerCase())” the real computer name is server01

this is why I was trying to strip it off below

ids of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = ((substring after “hsrv” of it) or (substring after “hprt” of it) of “hsrvserver01”))

so the “CMDB primary name” could either be hsrvserver01 or hprtserver01 or server01, I want to strip of the hprt or hsrv and compare it to server01

something like this

names of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = (((substring after 
"hsrv" of it) or (substring after 
"hprt" of it) or (name of it)) of  
"hsrvserver01")) names of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = (((substring after 
"hsrv" of it) or (substring after 
"hprt" of it) or (name of it)) of  
"hprtserver01")) names of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase = (((substring after 
"hsrv" of it) or (substring after 
"hprt" of it) or (name of it)) of  
"server01"))

so either of the above 3 lines will return the same name “server01”,

all three are the same name “server01” it just depends on how I recieve the data and who’s sending it,

var rel = ‘ids of bes computers whose ((length of name of it >= 4 AND following text of first 4 of name of it as lowercase = "’+ chomp(names+.toLowerCase()) + ‘") OR name of it as lowercase = "’+ chomp(names+.toLowerCase()) + ‘" )’;

The above will allow any 4 letter prefix. It should be easy to change it to check against your specific prefix if you need it to be more specific.
