[MOAB-dev] Question about getting entities with tag data

[Paul Wilson]

Hi there,

I have been digging through the interface and I can't seem to find a 
function that will return an MBRange of entities formed by matching a 
single tag against a set of tag values.  As far as I can tell, 
get_entities_by_type_and_tag will return an MBRange of entities formed 
by matching N tags against N corresponding values, but will not match 1 
tag against M values.

Is there such a function?  If not, is there a recommended way to resolve 
this?  My first attempt was to get each entity one at a time, but that 
is extremely slow.  Perhaps better to get the tag data for all possible 
entities and then throw out the ones that are not needed?

Thanks,
Paul
