[Pytables-users] Is it possible to manipulate a VariableNode in a query?

[Aquil H. A. <aqu...@gm...>]

Hello All, 

I am querying a table that has a field with a string value. I would like to determine if the string matches a pattern. Is there a simple way to do that through readWhere and the condition syntax?  None of the following work, but I was wondering if it were possible to do something similar:

table.readWhere('"CLZ' in field') or table.readWhere('symbol[:3] == "CLZ"')

Thanks!
