(yes, you can have mixed case in a file name but that's visual fluff - the OSitself does not care).
Mask Format
Here are the different mask formats available:
l Literal characters:Any alphanumerical character is considered literal character and must appear. For
example, a mask of "trigger.txt"will not capture any other files than that name.
l Wildcards:Two wildcards are available in masks.
l Asterisk (*):Supports any number of characters. *.txt would pick up any text file, file*.txt would
pick up any file starting with file and any characters:file1.txt, filetest.txt.
l Question Mark (?):Supports a single character. file?.txt would pick up File1.txt or filea.txt , but
not file13.txt or filetest.txt.
l Brackets:Specifies a set of supported characters, or range of characters. Only one character from the
range is accepted, making this a subset of the ? wildcard.
l Sets:[13ab] defines support for one of these 4 characters. file[13ab].txt would pick up file1.txt ,
filea.txt , but not file13.txt or filea3.txt.
l Negative Sets:[!13ab] indicates the character should NOTbe part of the set. file[!13ab].txt
would pick up file2.txt and filec.txt but not file1.txt or fileb.txt (nor would it pick up file13.txt or
filea3.txt).
l Ranges:[1-5] , [a-d] define ranges between the characters. file[1-5].txt would pick up file1.txt
and file4.txt but not file6.txt or file13.txt.
l Negative Ranges:Negative ranges such as [!2-4] are also possible.
Technical
Filename containing brackets can be a hassle when attempting to capture them with a mask and
using sets or ranges. You can capture a set that contains an opening bracket ([[] ) , but not a closing
bracket as the closing bracket always ends the set or range. There is no escape character available in
masks.
Date and Time Format
To simplify things and to prevent errors, date and time formats have been standardized.
