Wildcards |
|
A wildcard character is a single character that can match zero, one or many characters. Here are the wildcards supported by PRS wildcard search fields:
Wildcard |
Matches |
* |
Zero or more characters (any characters) |
? |
A single character |
# |
A single digit (0...9) |
Many PRS report selection and find dialogs accept wildcard field names. For example if you search for a site name of Acme* any site name starting with Acme will be found. Here are some more wildcard examples:
Search for |
Matches |
acc* |
All values starting with acc |
*xyz* |
All values containing xyz |
All PRS searches are case insensitive i.e. upper and lower case letters are considered equal.
TIP: Tooltips will alert you if wildcards are accepted (hovering over a search field will popup a Tooltip if there is one).
TIP: To search for actual wildcard characters you must enclose them in square brackets e.g. to find Option #1 you would need to search for Option [#]1
