&os2; understands two wildcard characters:
*
) character matches any sequence
of characters (no character, one character, or many characters).
For example, h*e
will match he
,
house
, and home
.
?
) matches exactly one character.
For example, h??e
will match home
, but
not he
or house
.
h*e.?x?
will match house.txt
and he.exe
Note that as opposed to DOS, under &os2; the dot (.
)
in file names is a special character only with
files on the FAT file system.
