Partial string support in names of objects #6

So would be nice to be able to use syntax like jss_helper installs skype and get a list of policies and configurations that install any package with the substring "skype" (not case sensitive). Also true for joss_helper packages skype where would return list of all packages containing that substring

I've been thinking about this recently, as I need the ability to glob-add/remove computers from a group. e.g. something like jss_helper group US822 --remove 'US822-*'

Some of this functionality is already possible by just grepping: jss_helper packages | grep -i skype`

I had resisted adding this kind of feature due to the standard procedure of piping to grep handling a lot of things. But adding globbing as per my needs above is one thing that couldn't be done that way.

jss_helper installs --search skype or some similar incantation would be another.

Ideally, one generalized search function would handle all of these possibilities, and indeed, that's what I had been planning!
