Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Puppet Console Groups - Node pattern match

Hi,

I want to use the Groups feature in the console to setup a pattern match on 
"hostname" for a node so that they get all the classes assigned to
that
group. I''m currently doing this through the nodes/nodes.pp file for a
set
of simple named hosts (example of my regex in the nodes.pp below) but now I 
need to expand this a bit and I''m not a regex guy and I can''t
the regex
right so I was hoping there was an easier way to match node name strings in 
the console.

node /^hostname\d+$/ {
    include <module>
}

Basically, I''m looking for something like, match anything that starts
with web and ends with two digits.

Thanks

James

Solved my issue by getting the regex right but I''d still like know
other
options for automating the collection of nodes into a group via the 
console. If anyone has some pointers.
