File ID and masking
The terms "file-id" or "file ID" refer to the form "file-name.file-type"
where "file-name" is a 1-6 character file name, and "file-type" is the
directory under which the file-name is cataloged.
When specifying the file-id, an asterisk (*) or question mark (?) can
be used as a wildcard or string lookup for the file-name. This is often
referred to as masking. Masking eliminates the need for you to
repetitively key in various file names that contain the same string of
characters.
When the file-name ends with an asterisk, all file-names beginning
with the same characters that precede the asterisk are displayed. For
example:
FILE ABC*.FNT
The example above specifies that all file-names beginning with ABC
of the file-type FNT be displayed.
When a file-name contains a question mark, only the specified
characters of file-type FNT and the position(s) occupied by the
questions mark(s) affect the file-names to be displayed. For example:
FILE AB??.FNT
The above example specifies that all file-names beginning with AB
that are 2, 3, or 4 characters long of file-type FNT be displayed.
