  2. Matching wildcards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_wildcards

    In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_character

    In SQL, wildcard characters can be used in LIKE expressions; the percent sign % matches zero or more characters, and underscore _ a single character. Transact-SQL also supports square brackets ([and ]) to list sets and ranges of characters to match, a leading caret ^ negates the set and matches only a character not within the list.

    A comma separated list of the fields to use. Allowed fields are title, text, auxiliary_text, opening_text, headings and all. &cirrusMltUseFields (true or false) use only the field data. Defaults to false: the system will extract the content of the text field to build the query. &cirrusMltPercentTermsToMatch: The percentage of terms to match on.

    The two wildcard characters are * and \?, and both can come in the middle or end of a word. The escaped question mark stands for one character and the star stands for any number of characters. Because many users ask questions when searching, question marks are ignored by default, and the escaped question mark (\?) must be used for a wildcard.

  7. Krauss wildcard-matching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krauss_wildcard-matching...

    In computer science, the Krauss wildcard-matching algorithm is a pattern matching algorithm. Based on the wildcard syntax in common use, e.g. in the Microsoft Windows command-line interface, the algorithm provides a non-recursive mechanism for matching patterns in software applications, based on syntax simpler than that typically offered by regular expressions.

  8. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Regular expressions entered popular use from 1968 in two uses: pattern matching in a text editor [9] and lexical analysis in a compiler. [10] Among the first appearances of regular expressions in program form was when Ken Thompson built Kleene's notation into the editor QED as a means to match patterns in text files.

    strings Text to be searched for. [drive:][path]filename Specifies a file or files to search. Flags: /B Matches pattern if at the beginning of a line. /E Matches pattern if at the end of a line. /L Uses search strings literally. /R Uses search strings as regular expressions. /S Searches for matching files in the current directory and all ...
