Wildcard characters are keyboard characters such as an asterisk (*) or the question mark (?) that is used to represent one or more characters when you are searching or filtering for files.

Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or want to process a group of files.

e.g.:

• *.html - Only files with the extension HTML will be considered
• p*.* - Only files which start with a P will be considered
• *.html;*.css - Only files with extensions HTML and CSS will be considered
• *.* - All files will be considered
• sales.htm - Only files with the exactly named "sales.htm" will be considered (no wildcards used in this case)
