The Matches Wildcard [Does Not Match Wildcard] comparison operator locates Info Items or Info Items with the specified Attribute that match (or do not match) the specified wildcard expression.
The wildcard characters are the same as the typical command-line wildcards: ?, *, [], ^ and - characters.
| • | ? = matches any single character |
| • | * = matches 0 or more characters |
| • | [...] = match 1 character within the [ ] symbols |
| • | [^...] = match 1 character that is NOT within the [ ] symbols following the ^ symbol |
| • | - = can be used to specify a range within the [ ] symbols (ie. [a-z] will match any character in range between a and z |
Notes:
| • | To match the ? and * characters as literals, use [?] and [*] respectively. |
| • | To match literal [ and ] characters, enter [[ or ]]. |
| • | The Matches Wildcard operator is case-insensitive (A matches 'A' or 'a'). |
A Quick Search uses an (Item) Contains Keywords <keywords entered> type of criteria, unless one of the wildcard operators, or the " (double quote) symbol is included in the criteria, in which case a Matches Wildcard criteria will be used instead.
