Guidelines for wildcard seaching
Use these guidelines when wildcard searching:
Characters that are used to specify wildcard options, such as "?", "\", "[", and "]", must be preceded by a backslash.
•
For example, "\?" finds any question mark.
The caret serves as a wildcard character only when it precedes a range of characters, as in "[^A-Z]".
•
The dash does not act as a wildcard character if it precedes a range of characters, as in "[-ABC]" or "[^-ABC]". At
•
any other location, it acts as a wildcard character indicating a "from...to" relationship.
