Script search wildcards
One search option for code in the WinStudio script editor is to do a "[]" search. This option uses simple search patterns to locate the text.
When using this option, the search engine recognizes these wildcard patterns:
| Wildcard characters | Description |
|---|---|
| [* ] | This character
specifies zero or more of any character, except the line feed character.
For example, if you specify [*;] as the wildcard pattern, the search matches any C# using statement. |
| [? ] | This character
specifies any single character, except the line feed character.
For example, if you specify [code?] as the wildcard pattern, the search would match [coded], [codes], and [coder], but not [coding]. |
| [# ] | This character specifies any single numeric digit. |
| [[ aeiou ] ] | This construct
matches any one character in the specified set of characters.
For example, if you specify [aeiou] as the wildcard pattern, the search would match the words "what", "where", and "how", but not the word "why". |
| [[! aeiou ] ] | This construct
matches any one character that is not in the specified set of characters.
For example, if you specify [[!s]] as the wildcard pattern, the search would match the word "photograph" but not the word "photographs". |
