Hi Sandeep,

We've written a number of blog entries on getting started with dbGet.  I think you'd find good examples of pattern matching and -p in these entries:

/search/SearchResults.aspx?&q=dbGet&Scope=Blogs

The db* commands Mohan is referring to are the older "FE-TCL"-style commands.  They still work, but we're encouraging users towards dbGet these days as we feel it provides a more concise self-documented way of exploring the Encounter database.

There was a bug in 8.1 with the help and man for dbGet, but if you call dbGet without any options you can see usage at the command line:

encounter 1> dbGet
The correct command usage is:
Usage: dbGet [-d] [-p#] [-u] [-regexp] <obj|obj_list|head|top|selected>.[obj_type][{.attr_name|.?|.??|.?h} [pattern]]

You can also get extended help for dbGet in the Encounter Digital Implementation System
Text Command Reference (fetxtcmdref.pdf).  Let us know if you have questions after referring to those blog entries.

Hope this helps,
Bob

 Thanks a lot Bob. This is what I was looking for.
