Wildcard Matching

selang supports the following wildcard characters:

* (asterisk)

Any sequence of zero or more characters.

? (question mark)

Any single character (except a path separator for files).

To make a single character a “do not care” character that matches any other single character, use a question mark (?), as in the following examples:

Specify this...

To do this...

mmc?

mmc3, mmcx, mmc5

mmc?.t

mmc1.t, mmc2.t

mmc04.?

mmc04.a, mmc04.1

To match any string of zero or more characters, use an asterisk (*), as in the following examples:

Specify this...

To do this...

*i*.c

main.c, list.c

st*.h

stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h
