People have reported problems with wildcards, especially with the FTP commands as in the following link:
http://www.mjtnet.com/usergroup/viewtopic.php?t=5471
Wildcards are supported for several types of commands"
- Windows
- files
- ftp
- maybe more.
The precise behavior is documented for windows.
Example: SetFocus>part*
works for these windows: part
partlist
department
rampart
does not work:
*part
*part*
The behavior for ftp only supports a single asterisk in each folder level, filename, or extension (undocumented restriction).
works: mydir/*.*
mydir/*.txt
mydir/readme.*
does not work: mydir/read*.txt
mydir/read*.*
mydir/r*d*.txt
The behavior for files is supports multiple wildcards in combination with other text:
works: mydir/read*.txt
mydir/read*.*
mydir/r*d*.txt
m*d*/**d*.t*
The differences are confusing because they differ form each and also when compared to similar commands from other environments.
Please document in the user guide and help.
