If you need to get back occurrences with certain name patterns, then you just have to iterate through them and check their name. Depending on how many levels you want to check you could also use the AllLeafOccurrences property, like in this iLogic sample code that can be run inside an assembly document:
Sub Main
Dim ocs = OccurrencesWhereNameStartsWith(
ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition,
"RC")
Dim msg As String
Dim oc
For Each oc In ocs
msg = msg + oc.Name + vbCrLf
Next
MsgBox(msg)
End Sub
Function OccurrencesWhereNameStartsWith( _
acd As AssemblyComponentDefinition, str As String) _
As ObjectCollection
Dim oc As ObjectCollection
oc = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection()
Dim co As ComponentOccurrence
For Each co In acd.Occurrences.AllLeafOccurrences
If co.Name.StartsWith(str) Then
oc.Add (co)
End If
Next
Return oc
End Function
