new table and list processing methods

[Yann]

It would be useful to have new method of getting lines in tables and lists like:

• get line that starts with...
• get line that ends with...
• get line that contains...

or as an addition to the options of "get line" : first, random, by number, all, starts with, ends with, contains...

That would prevents us from creating loops to go through the table or list and check each line...simply script and it would probably be more efficient.

What do you think ?

nobody interested in this ?

Personally I prefer to make my own checking what lines from list I need and what not. You know what I mean.
There is hundreds of logic's possible to search in data. Not all can be as default features for everyone.

I agree and I know how to do it, but I think that a few more additions like these (pretty much like the filter options in excel) would benefits everybody.

Also vote for this feature.

We can delete lines from list with a lot of logic.
Good idea for get lines with same logic operations.

Consider add method to delete column from a table.
