Can you help me use the eval command with a wildcard question?

Is there a way to do a search for any version that begins with a 5* in an eval search?

eval sofver = if (softwareversion=="5*", "Compliant", "Non-Compliant") chart count over system by sofver

I can get it to work with a specific version, say 5.2.1.5, but I need to figure out how to do anything with a 5.x.x.x

Would you be able to tell me how to do a NOT Match?

Hi,

Can you try the below,

eval sofver = if (match(softwareversion,"5*"), "Compliant", "Non-Compliant")
