Ldapsearch query on a part of attribute

Question

I try to figure out how to do the filter by ldapsearch:
ldapsearch -h xx -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w xxx -s sub -b "cn=users,dc=mycomp, dc=com" "attribute1=<name>" dn
attribute1 like
<name>+ com
examples:
johnsonsmithcom
mikemoorecom
in ldapseach query statement , I want to get rid of the last 3 chars on the right side in the attribute1 .
something like in sql we can use substr to accomplish this, but how can it be done in LDAPSEARCH?

I think the only way to do that is use wildcard filter like:
(attribute1=*com)Then, when you're processing your results, you can transform to remove the "com".
I don't think there's a way in LDAP searches to transform the results (like there is in SQL SELECT). You basically just get to name the attributes you want back and a "where clause" (filter)
