Add an "AND" logic for the filter for variable selection?

[huiwanpnnl]

Hi @jourdain , could we add an "AND" logic for the filter in the variable selection panel?

I have a bunch of files that each contain more than 1000 variables. There, finding single-letter variables like T, Q, U, V takes quite a bit of scrolling. If we could allow expressions like "time, lev, ncol" + "T", that would help a lot.

Furthermore, could we allow

• something like " T " (note the spaces before and after the letter) to mean "really just one letter T", and
• something like " num_a1" (only one space) to mean "start with num_a1, hence exclude AQ_num_a1 and SFnum_a1 but include num_a1TBF and num_a1_SRF"?

These files with many variables can be found through this URL and in NERSC's file system under

/global/cfs/projectdirs/m4359/www/huiwan/vis/202603_file_groups/

Thank you very much!
