I currently have this code...


  my $nt_group_zones = $nt->send_request(
     action => "get_group_zones",
     nt_user_session => $nt_user->{'nt_user_session'},
     nt_group_id => $nt_user->{'nt_group_id'},
     limit => "10",
    quick_search => '1',
    search_value => $zone,
     );
  if($nt_group_zones->{'zones'}->

• ->{'nt_zone_id'}) {
       my $nt_zone = $nt->send_request(
          action => 'get_zone',
          nt_user_session => $nt_user->{'nt_user_session'},
          nt_zone_id => $nt_group_zones->{'zones'}->
• ->{'nt_zone_id'},
          nt_group_id => $nt_user->{'nt_group_id'},
       );
       unless( $nt_zone->{'zone'} eq $zone ) {
          print STDERR "Search Returned Zone: ".$nt_zone->{'name'}." but i was looking for ".$zone.", BUG!\n";
          return;
       }
    }
  
  
  
  I'm basically searching for a zone so i can get it's nt_zone_id.  The problem with quick search that i just found was that it is not doing a exact match.  In the API documentation i dont see that option for quicksearch so i'm assuming i have to use the normal search.  My problem is i dont understand how to use it.  the N_ is confusing me, i'm sure it's simple and i'm just over looking it.  Can somebody provide me a example of using the API search func to get the exact match of a zone so i can get it's id.
  
  
  Thanks
  

Never mind, figured it out my self, just added exact_match => '1' to my quicksearch..

boy what adding print Dumper($q) will show you when you put it in the main() sub of the nictool client
