Is it possible to select group with a script if i know that name of that group always contains text, for example "TEST" but other part of group name is always changing (TEST1, TEST2, TEST3...)?

if (test = documents.length) {
	sTT = stringIDToTypeID, lngth = activeDocument.layerSets.length; (ref  = new ActionReference()).putProperty(sTT('property'), json = sTT('json'))
	ref.putEnumerated(sTT('layer'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')), (evl = eval('(' + (dsc = executeActionGet(ref)).getString(json) + ')')).layers.length = lngth
	function slct(v) {test = (ref = new ActionReference()).putIdentifier(sTT('layer'), layerSet.id), dsc.putReference(sTT('null'), ref), executeAction(sTT('select'), dsc)}
	(function(v){while(test && v && lngth = v.length) {var lst = lngth - 1; if (/TEST[_-]?\d+/.test((layerSet = v[lst]).name)) return slct(); callee(v[lst].layers), v.length = lst}})(evl.layers)
}

      It is possible via Script. 

       

      How frequent is the task for you? 

      Enough so the Layers Panel’s name-Filer is not effivient enough? 

       

      How does it need to be integrated in your workflow?
