Dropping multiple tests

Hello -

I have a test setup on one of my systems that is not pushing out data quite
as I expected.  In addition to the column information that I want to keep,
it is adding columns on a random basis.  I know that we can drop a single
column or all the tests for a host, but is there any way to remove tests on
a wildcard basis?  (I.E  bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hostname test_to_drop*")  I
need to keep the information for several of the tests but I wind up having
to manually remove about 50 tests a day so far...  :(

If there's not, any chance it can be added in a future release?

Thanks!

Umm - why don't you just fix your test to report only the columns you
want to keep ?

On all the other systems that the test is running on, its working as
expected..  Only this system is tossing out the extra columns...  :(
