Hi,

Good day! I’m trying to use and having a hard time on an account filter under the aggregation settings in our source to exclude user\_name that contains `_old*`, so that old accounts are not captured.

Could you please advise how I can configure the filter to exclude user\_name that contain `_old`, `_old1`, `_old2`, and similar patterns during account aggregation?

Thank you!

You can use

`user_name.contains("_old")`

Hi @earvs0527,  
Can you Please PATCH the below filter in your source and please let me know.

```auto
[
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/connectorAttributes/account.filterString",
        "value": "( user_name.contains( '_old' ))"
    }
]

```

I hope this will work for you.  
Thank you!
