Hi,

I posted yesterday with a problem in a script. I still have the same problem, but I think I found a better way to explain my problem.

I have a vector of character strings. Each string is unique, including numbers and letters. In the real world they represent a list of codes, so each position in the string has a meaning to me. I want to make a subset of the vector using "wildcards". So for example, take all the strings that start with 3. 

Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks for any help.
