Is it possible to filter out computers based on the number of characters?

I have tried -???? or -#### but apparently it is not possible.

Hi Edward,
This is possible using regular expressions.
In your filter, you want to filter All Computer|Name|Matches Expression|Value

For the expression's value, there are a lot of choices. Here are some that will allow you limit the results based on the number of characters.
.{8}$ will list all machine that have names containing 8 or more characters.
^.{4}$ will list all machines that have four letters in their names.
^.{3,5}$ will list all machines that have a minimum of three characters and a maximum of five characters in their names.
^.{4}$|^.{8}$ Will list all machines with either 4 characters or 8 characters
