Using wildcards for CopyFile and DeleFile
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 10:50 am
(following discussion about using wildcards in Copy/Del 
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=75439)
It might be interesting to add the possibility to use wildcards for the Copy and Delete file commands.
(At least " * " optionnaly ' ? ' but best of all and modern will be "regular expressions")
This should be put as an option in existing commands or as a new feature to ensure backward compatibility and to avoid possible errors due to systems that accept '*' and '?' in filenames.
