[Closed] select via pattern matching

Hi All

I get that I can select object via pattern matching ie

select $*glass*

and also

select $*glass*
select $*engines*

Is there a way to select a set of objects who’s name can be pattern matched. In Houdini this would be driven by a space ie select $glass $engines $boosters .This would select all objects named, Is there a way to do this in max script ? .
