Passing arguments to a Drupal6 View

I'm building an Address Book view based on a simple CCK that I built.

I need to pass the initial letter as argument to the view in order to show only the elements starting with the received letter. How can I do it using Drupal Views? I've searched in arguments but cannot find a way to get substring support but only node/user references or CCK fields.

If you use this:

$view = views_get_view('masvisitados');
$view->execute();
print_r( $view->render() );

It will render with the markup, but If you just want the data (like me), you can try this:

$view = views_get_view('masvisitados');
$view->preview('Mas visitados', 4);
$view = $view->result;
print_r( $view );

It returns an array.

That's exactly what a "glossary view" does. Navigate to /admin/build/views on your site. If the default view called "glossary" is disabled, enable it. You can now edit/inspect/try it to see how it works. The key is in the 'Node: Title' argument, where the "glossary mode" checkbox is selected. For your address book, you can duplicate it and add a filter on the desired node type.
