Wildcards in File Names Parent topic

You can use wildcard characters in file names the same way you can use them in email addresses. Use an asterisk in the name or the extension sections of a file name, but not in conjunction with a partial name or extension. The following are valid examples:
  • *.*: Valid representation of all files.
  • *.extension: Valid representation of all files of a certain extension.
  • name.*: Valid representation of files with a specific name but with any extension.
  • *name.*: Valid representation of a name.
  • name.*extension: Valid representation of an extension.
