Assets with a variable component in symbol #457102 12/26/15 03:00 12/26/15 03:00

There is e.g. a broker whose Oil CFDs are named "OIL-FEB16" and "OILMn-FEB16" for WTI Oil (Mini) Future with according expirations. Is there a chance to name the assets with a kind of wildcard anywhere in AssetsFix or Zorro.mq4 or do I have to rename it every month? Thanks, Sphin
