Defining Pattern Limitations
Pattern limitations may be defined using OR, AND, EXCEPT, and NOT operators with
_ and * as wildcard characters. The following examples show how to use available
operators and wildcard characters:
Note: Patterns are not case sensitive.
n
foo matches only objects named "foo".
n
foo_ matches all objects with names consisting of the string "foo" followed by
only one additional character, like foot or food, but not seafood or football.
n
foo* matches all objects with names starting with the string "foo", like football
or food, but not seafood.
n
*foo* matches all objects with names containing the string "foo", like seafood
or Bigfoot.
n
*foo* OR *soc* matches all objects containing either the string "foo" or the
string "soc", including football, socks, soccer, and food.
n
*foo* AND *ball* matches all objects containing both the string "foo" and the
string "ball", including football but excluding food.
n
*foo* NOT *ball* matches all objects containing the string "foo" that do not
also contain the string "ball", including food but excluding football.
n
*foo* EXCEPT *ball* matches all objects containing the string "foo" that do not
also contain the string "ball", including food but excluding football.
You may also group operators using parentheses, as in the following example.
