Hi Alberto,
Thank you for the quick response! I tried your method but it returns a lot
of None as results, although it might just be me using not correctly, I'm
not super familiar with this.
What I wanted is to check if objects with those specified naming
conventions exist, and if so select them, otherwise return the error
message.
Cheers!
