regex to match all mailbox that begin with A-H 1

[58sniper]

I've never been good at regex. What I'm trying to do is a "Get-Mailbox" where the UserName property begins with the letters A-H. From there, I can move those mailboxes to a specific database.

Has anyone done this that can share an example? I'm trying to do something like:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | ? <regex goes here> | Move-Mailbox -database "myserver\mysg\myA-Hdatabase"

To match something that begins with A-H would be something like

^[A-H]

I guess in powershell it would be something like
xxx -match "^[A-H]"

That seems to work....

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | ? {$_.DisplayName -match "^[A-H]"} | Move-Mailbox -database "myserver\mysg\myA-Hdatabase"

Cool - thanks. A star for you.
