Window 'Find' style search

Post by Dr_Pixel »

I am adding a search feature to my program, and I want to use the 'wildcard' characters the same way Windows' Find tool does, so users will be familiar with it.

I know that "*" means "any character, or none, can be here"
and "?" means "at least one character MUST be here"

Are there any others? And if so, what do they mean?

I can't find any documentation on this, Windows 'Help' doesn't even mention the wildcard characters at all....

Nope, * and ? are the only two wildcards used by DOS.
