SET WILDCARD VMS (default)
Enables VMS wildcards for WILDCARD FIND. (Does not apply to wildcards in
file names.)
VMS wildcards include the percent sign (%) to match any single character
on a line, the asterisk (*) to match any amount of text on a line, the
backslash and right angle bracket (\>) to match end-of-line, and so on.
Example:
The following commands find strings like "Bat," "bet," "b t," or "BUT"
at the end of a line:
Command: SET WILDCARD VMS
Command: WILDCARD FIND b%t\>
Usage notes:
o The default wildcards depend on the system you are using---VMS or
ULTRIX. If you want to use VMS wildcards on ULTRIX or conversely, put
the relevant command in an initialization file (typically named
EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.
o For a list of the available wildcards, use SHOW WILDCARDS.
o On DECwindows, you can set VMS wildcards as follows:
1. Choose Set Wildcards from the Search menu or choose
Search Attributes from the Customize menu.
2. Choose Set Wildcard VMS.
