Pattern Matching

The pattern matching mode is triggered when a filter contains the asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards. In this mode, DXserver applies the pattern to find matching entries. For example, the filter, cn~=T?M J*N, would match Tim Junn, Tom Jamerson, and Tam Jinaran. This is a very precise form of matching. Use this mode if you want a lot of control over the entries that are returned.
