Using Regular expressions for DNG filtering and searching?
Accepted answer
If you have LQE then you can use SPARQL against the LQE Sparql endpoint. I've done this using python and I'm sure it's possible in other languages that can invoke http calls.
Or if you have LQE and Report Builder, then you can use RB to create the basic query you want, then edit the RB-generated SPARQL if you want to go beyond what RB's graphic report builder can do - or replace the SPARQL and use handwritten - using RB has the advantage of subsequent better usability of the query/report than having done some python/java/whatever coding to use the sparql endpoint.

Thanks for the guidance on using LQE and RB. Very useful ideas to help.
To be complete, I am now looking for the "wild card" rules associated with the text search box that can be associated with a DNG filter. It seems to be restricted to just the * wildcard and I'd like to confirm this is the only wildcard that can be used for searching within DNG search windows.
Here is a reference to the DNG Infocenter on this feature.
