foamDictionary does not allow wildcards as key
Functionality to add/problem to solve
E.g. we want to change the 'type' for multiple patches :
foamDictionary 0/U -entry boundaryField/BFAN.*/type -set foo
Target audience
Complex use of foamDictionary.
Proposal
Have each entry expanded into multiple keys by default. Optionally disable with -literalRE
similar to changeDictionary
so you could add a wildcard entry to a dictionary.
You could have inbetween where we expand some wildcards but not others but that might be overkill.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
See if we can do above replacement.
