<h1>Wildcard Matching</h1>
<p>
Line Counter supports wildcard matching in both it's <a href="IDH_OPT_FILES.htm">filtering rules</a> and <a href="IDH_OPT_EXT.htm">extension inclusion list</a>. The behavior of the wildcard characters is described below:
</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding=2">
<tr style="font-weight=bold">
<td>Wildcard Character</td>
<td>Matches...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>?</td>
<td>A single character. The character must appear, unless the ? is used at the end of the filter. For example, "a?b?" will match "axb" but not "abx".</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>*</td>
<td>A string of characters, or nothing. This is a greedy operator, so it will match as many characters as it can.</td>
</tr>
</table>
