Textual Pattern Matches(4.1)

In resemblance to Regular Expressions, when searching through text strings of names and other textual patterns in mzsh, there are two characters that help you filter text according to a certain criteria:

The asterisk '*' is a wildcard for one or more characters.
The question mark '?' is a wildcard for any single character.

Note!

If you want to use the '*' and '?' wildcards when you are not logged in, the wildcards have to either be enclosed with single or double quotation marks, or preceded with a backslash '\'.

For example:

mzsh mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist \* will work.

mzsh mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist "*" will work.

mzsh mzadmin/dr wfgrouplist * -mode D will not work.

The period '.' punctuation mark is not a wildcard and is treated as normal punctuation mark character.
