Thanks, the example has been added.  Good idea to show also
this alternative (it was only mentioned in the introduction
to the regexp section).

I’m trying to create an Expression to select features in a Class,
MapServer 6.0.1. I want to do something such as a wildcard or a Like
statement, to select records with certain item values. Something
similar to this:

EXPRESSION (‘[RDNAME]’ = ‘Main%’ )

Or perhaps

EXPRESSION (‘[RDNAME]’ like ‘Main%’)

-neither of these formats worked for me. I checked the MS
documentation under Expression, but could not find the solution. Can
anyone shed some light on this?



Håvard,

You can use a regular expression like:

CLASSITEM "RDNAME"
EXPRESSION /^Main\.*/
