Character masking
Several options support character masking.
If an option supports masking, the support is noted. The following table lists mask character functions.
Character | Function |
|---|---|
* | Represents any number of characters, including no characters |
? | Represents any one character |
For example, assume the following names exist: A3, M, M01, M03, M13, M23, M33, M103, M2243, and use the following table to see the results of using different character masking specifications.
Entry | Matching values |
|---|---|
* | All the above values |
M?3 | M03, M13, M23, M33 |
M??3 | M103 |
M*3 | M03, M13, M23, M33, M103, M2243 |
M* | All preceding values except A3 Because the last character is *, M is treated as a prefix. |
