Using wildcards for specifying files
The following examples show some wildcard specifications and their
explanations. For information about wildcard definitions, see "File
specification wildcards" in the "Concepts ..." help topic.
[SMITH.PROJECT]*.* Indicates all files in the [SMITH.PROJECT]
directory only.
[SMITH...]*.* Indicates all versions of all files in all
directories of user SMITH. For example,
[SMITH.PERSONAL]*.*;*, [SMITH.PROJECT]*.*;*,
[SMITH.PROJECT.BASE]*.*;*,
[SMITH.PROJECT.TEST]*.*;*, and so on.
[SMITH.PROJECT...]*.* Indicates all files in the [SMITH.PROJECT]
directory and in all subdirectory files. For
example, [SMITH.PROJECT.BASE]*.*,
[SMITH.PROJECT.TEST]*.*, and so on.
[SMITH...]*.*;0 Indicates all files (highest version only,
indicated by a zero in the version number) in
all directories of user SMITH. For example,
[SMITH]*.*;0, [SMITH.PROJECT]*.*;0,
[SMITH.PROJECT.BASE]*.*;0,
[SMITH.PROJECT.TEST]*.*;0, and so on.
[SMITH...]*.*;-0 Indicates all files (lowest version only,
indicated by a negative zero in the version
number) in all directories of user SMITH. For
example, [SMITH]*.*;-0, [SMITH.PROJECT]*.*;-0,
[SMITH.PROJECT.BASE]*.*;-0,
[SMITH.PROJECT.TEST]*.*;-0, and so on.
[SMITH]A*E.* Indicates all files in the SMITH directory
that begin with the letter A and that end with
the letter E (before the file extension).
For example, ACE.TXT, APPROPRIATE.C, and so on.
[SMITH...]*.% Indicates all files in all directories of user
SMITH that have a single-character file
extension. For example, PROJECT.C, FORM.H,
and ANYTHING.1, and so on.
[...]*.* Indicates all user files in all directories
beginning with whatever directory you are
currently in. For example, if you are in the
[SMITH.PROJECT] directory, the wildcard
specification is the same as
[SMITH.PROJECT...]*.*.
[*...]*.* Indicates all files on the volume, including
necessary directory files to contain the user
files. This file specification does not
include the special files in the master file
directory (MFD), or [000000].
[000000...]*.* Indicates all files on the volume, including
necessary directory files to contain the user
files. This file specification includes the
special files in the master file directory
(MFD), or [000000].
