      Does any plugin exist which allows you to select group/components by their Group/Definition Name and/or name using a regex pattern?

        Don't know, but wouldn't be a difficult thing:

        # get the input
        # ...
        r = Regexp.new input
        # iterate over the elements
        #   checking name
        #   adding to selection, if name fits

          Yea, it'd be a simple loop. Just wasn't sure if there was a plugin out there already.
          If not I'll add one to my selection plugin.

          Found the use for it today when I imported a revit model using the DWG format. There's no material applied so I have to add that manually. But I noticed that similar element had the same name prefix followed by a number. So I figured I could greatly speed up the process of adding materials by doing a regex selection.
