Change matching behavior of variable names specified at the command line
As of version 0.3.2, when I specify a variable name at the command line after the filenames, it will match any variable that starts with that string. For example, the string
solar_array_current
will match both of these variables:
solar_array_current
solar_array_current_channel_index_label
In the situation above, as far as I know there is no way to specify that the first variable should be compared and the second should not. In this particular case it was an issue because the software crashed on the "_label" variable (see issue #2 (closed)), but in general it would be nice to have a way to reliable select individual variables at the command line.
Suggest that variable names should not be treated as roots, and instead multiple variables can be specified using a standard matching syntax, with patterns provided in quotes to prevent shell expansion.
