I think this is a simple question, but google searching for 30 minutes was mostly wasted time as all I can find is matching a variable to a 'randompieceoftext'.

Anyways, suppose I have a local variable called @ServerName. This server name will be something like CCPWIQAUL. I need to match this server name to various path names, which is of the form:

serverName.something.somethingelse.com

These path names are pulled from a database, and will be in the column vManagedEntity.Path

How do I do something like this?

Is @ServerName is IN vManagedEntity.Path?
