Layer rules.. feature with name that contains...

I want to create a rule for a layer, where any component having a name that starts with "CORRUGATED_" will be placed on that layer. But, I can't see anything that will let me do that. The only expressions I see are "Equal to", "Less than", etc. Where are the string expressions?

You can use wildcard characters, like '*' in the comparison name. Layer rules are the same as the Find function with all the same capabilities.

    So, I would always use "Equal to" and then regular expressions in the search string..correct?

    Thanks much!
