Wildcards
The wildcard ? can be used only in a filename or extension. It generally matches
any single character. However, when used at the end of a filename or extension, it
matches zero or one character. For example file??.txt matches file.txt, file1.txt and
file12.txt but not file123.txt.
The wildcard * can be used only in a filename or extension, in the form
[filename].* or *.[extension]. For example, file*.txt, file.txt* and file.*txt are invalid.
