uppercase letters (no upshifting). Names in MPE syntax are upshifted.
Both MPE and HFS name components can use the characters @, #, and ?
as wildcard characters. These wildcard characters have the following
meaning:
@ specifies zero or more alphanumeric characters.
# specifies one numeric character.
? specifies one alphanumeric character.
These wildcard characters can be used as follows
n@ Restore all files starting with the character n.
@n Restore all files ending with the character n.
n##...# Restore all files starting with character n followed by up to
seven digits (useful for storing all EDIT/3000 temporary
files).
n@x Restore all files starting with the character n and ending
with the character x.
?n@ Restore all files whose second character is n.
n? store all two-character files starting with the character n.
?n Restore all two-character files ending with the character n.
Also, character sets may be specified in the following syntax:
[ct] specifies letter c or t.
[c-t] specifies any letter from range c to t.
[e-g1] specifies any letter range e to g or digit 1.
Examples of using character sets are:
[A-C]@ Restore all files that begin with the letters A, B, or C.
myset[e-g1] Restore all files that begin with the name myset and end
in e, f, or g, or 1.
myset
[d-e1-6] Restore all files that begin with the name myset and end
in d or e, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
You may specify up to a maximum of sixteen characters for each character
set and you may not nest brackets.
A character set specifies a range for only one (1) ASCII character. The
range [a-d]@ gets all files that begin with the letter a through the letter d.
The ranged [ad-de] may cause unpredictable results.
Since the hyphen (-) is a valid character for HFS syntax file names, it is
allowed inside a character set, immediately following a left bracket ([) or
preceding a right bracket (]). When specified between two characters, the
hyphen implies a range of characters.
