I'm trying to create a smart group to remove applications.  Normally I just do application title 'has' Application.app.

 

However, I'm finding users have renamed 'Application.app' to other values, like 'Application (1234).app or 'Application (112233) (445566).app' and so on, probably to maintain specific build numbers of the app.  

 

Is there any smart group criteria that I could use to catch all those modified names?  I tried the `Application %.app`  wildcard in the name, but that returned 0 results.

This should be possible with regex instructions. Documentation from Jamf can be found here:

thank you, I hadn't thought about that, but when I went to try it, there's no regex option for application titles.
