are special symbols that can be used to search for any number of significant characters Similar to DOS wildcards
Symbols used to designate represent part of a string or string set * represents one or more characters that might match a position in a string value ? represents any single character that might match a position in a string value Examples: * txt represents all files whose name ends with the extension txt ??? txt represents all files whose 3-character file name ends with the extension txt
In the Main Entry field, use ? for a single unknown character and * for many unknowns The ? wildcard is great for crossword puzzle constructors or solvers For example, try p?lo? or c?????nna? The * wildcard helps you do something that is virtually impossible with printed dictionaries: look for all the words that end in a certain way or that contain a certain string of letters For example, try *itor or *ii* Bracketed ranges or collections of letters also work: [b-d]oo[r-t] yields boor, boos, boot, coos, coot, and door while tr[aeiou]p yields trap, trip, and trop
Characters in a quote symbol or Dos file name that indicates an undefined, but categorized, value
symbols used to indicate "any character" (or sometimes "any word") in a search A good example is using an asterisk at the end of a word ("word*") to retrieve singular and plural variants of that word ("word" or "words") This is also known as truncation, though in some situations you can actually use a wildcard character in other ways (like "* *" to bring up all files in a Unix directory)
plural of wildcard
A special character used to effectively search an online database or catalog for alternate or variant search terms Characters most often used are asterisks (*) and question marks (?)
The characters '*' and '?' are generic signs and are used as jokers or wildcards (as in a card game) The '?' stands for exactly one character, which may be anything '*' replaces any number of arbitrary characters, even no characters Wildcards are often used in regular expressions For example, the command ls -l bild* lists all files in the current directory that start with "bild" and end with any character(s), even only bild
In Extensible Style Language (XSL), a convention used within patterns to make element-matching easier
A symbol used when searching for files or data which represents all files; in DOS, UNIX and PC operating systems, the wild card character '?' will match any single character in this position The wild card character "or" means match any number of any characters
Wildcards are certain things that are repeated several times in a document and are found within the Find and Replace window in Microsoft Word 2000
Special characters such as * and ? that can stand in for other characters during text searches in some programs The * wildcard generally means "match any number of characters in this spot," whereas the ? wildcard generally means "match any character in this spot "
Symbols such as ? and * used when searching for a particular word Forms part of a MASK
The use of wildcards or Truncation is applying a wildcard symbol (usually *) after the first few letters of a word (the "stem") It allows you to accept any variant spellings or word endings, from the occurrence of the symbol forward (E g , femini* retrieves feminine, feminism, feminism, etc ) Truncation tends to works best when the actual stem is longer and the stem itself is not the root to many common words
