Variable "*"

The asterisk (*) can be used to represent 0 to 8 characters.

Entry:

Matches:

But Not:

PAY*.019

PAYUSER1.0191

PAYDEPT.0391

 

PAY.0191

PRODUCTS.0191

 

PAY03.0192

PAY.0091

In the first entry, the asterisk is used to represent any 0 to 8 characters between PAY and (.); thus the entry matches PAYUSER1.0191 but not PAYDEPT.0391. The characters (.019) are a simple prefix; the first three characters of the device address or device number must match them exactly.
