Wildcards for AppleScript in Radar

Wildcards for AppleScript in Radar

I'm writing an AppleScript that should go through each radar that has my project name in the "component" field. When I do this search in Radar, I use % characters as wildcards and it works fine eg "%projectName%".

When I try the same thing in AppleScript using the FindProblem function:

FindProblem componentName "Radar" componentVersion "6.1" state "2" additionalWhereClause ....

Returns zero items.

Any ideas how I can run the search I need?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

ok, I should close this topic. Thanks to the users who looked at it.

The fix (work-around) was to not use wildcards. Instead, I used Radar to find the parent component. Then I searched for that higher component (with no wildcards) and added an optional command at the end to make it return all subs. The result is cleaner.

Here is the final version:

set stringOfRadars to FindProblem componentName "foo_Top" componentVersion "" state "=2,3,4,5,6" additionalWhereClause "" with includeSubs and returnIDsOnly
