Without seeing what the macros actually expand to, it's impossible to say how
to reformulate the expansion without a filter command. However, I had to do
something similar for an LDAP lookup against Windows AD. The natural way to do
the lookup was with a filter command, but by being more specific in the
original LDAP search, and using some nasty ${sg} substitutions I got things
working.
You could also try passing the data through a perl function (${perl}) which
can do anything you want it to.
