Select block by specific caracter in atribute value tag

[Jonh]

Hello. I have a drawing with measured points represented as block reference with atributes. The atribute tag "name" contains the initial of the surveyor and point number ( ex C1001; I1235; F552). I have to modify one atribute of the blocks that contain the letter "C"(capital c). I have found the folowing lisp writen by LeeMac that has a filter but it only selects the blocks if i write the full atribute value.What i would like to do is to give it the letter C and for it to select all blocks that have the respective leter in the value of the "name" atribute. (C101-C2365).

 

Thank you and have a nice day.

Have you tried entering "C*" at the attribute Value prompt?
