Hello folks,

I want to run the following script over several indexes called 'index1-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}:  
curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/index1\*](http://localhost:9200/index1*) -d '  
{  
"mappings" : {  
"index1" : {  
"properties" : {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

But the previous script doesn't work due to '\*'.  
Do you know how to solve that ?

Regards

Try single or double quotes around `'http://...*'`.

```

```

{  
"template": "index1\*",  
"settings": {  
....  
},  
"mappings" : {  
"name\_mapping" : {  
"properties" : {  
"geometry" : {  
"type":"geo\_shape",  
"tree":"quadtree",  
"precision":"1m"  
},  
...
