.. _auto_curves_getbyname:

*GET CURVE BY NAME FROM A COLLECTION OF CURVES*
===============================================

Searches a collection of curves by name and returns all matches. Supports exact, contains, starts-with, and ends-with match modes, making it easy to filter one or more named curves from a larger curve group.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curve Group
     - curvegroup
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - The collection of curves (curve group) to search through; accepts multiple curves as a vector input.
   * - Name Of The Curve
     - nameofthe_curve
     - scalar
     - —
     - 
     - The name string to search for within the curve group; used as the search pattern against curve names.
   * - Search Type
     - searchtype
     - scalar
     - exact
     - 
     - Matching strategy for the name search — 'exact' (default), 'contains', 'starts_with', or 'ends_with'; controls how the name pattern is applied.
