It requires the full string rather than the beginning of it. For example:
My locomotive's name is BBL/01/Buildworld
I typed in the string Name=BBL/01 and it didn't work
I then typed Name=BBL/01/Buildworld and it worked

You should check the destination of the locomotive instead. Use tickets.

That wont work with my setup

Why? Talk on discord.

In order to route them to the correct location, I would need a routing detector to detect the name so that the correct routing track activates, which defeats the whole purpose

@bballboy2002 Then just keep the ticket always in the loco inventory instead of naming the carts.

no i need destinations for other things

just fix the problem

just fix the problem

This is not going to fix any problems. Tell me the exact use case and I will derive a resolution.

I am trying to build a depot for the railcraft server, and each train is designated to a specific parking spot. For this I need to use the locomotive name, dest won't work, nothing else will work.

Can you put routing tracks on the parking spots? If you put the routing tracks there you don't need to reroute them by name and then set tickets.

In order to route them to the correct location, I would need a routing detector to detect the name so that the correct routing track activates, which defeats the whole purpose

So the solution is that we may add origin tags to tickets so trains may be sorted in that way.

Name does not support partial matching. It does however support the regex operator.

Name?=BBL/01.*

You can ignore whatever liach is babbling about.

@liach be less combative please. -.-
