The FairCom DB standard wildcard pattern matching variables apply to the FairCom Server keywords that operate with files names, such as MEMORY_FILES, KEEPOPEN_LIST, REPLICATE, the !FILES command within the dynamic dump script, and so on. The available list of wildcards is:
* - Multi-character match
? - Single-character match
^ - Negation (must be first character)
For example, consider this list of files:
KEEPOPEN_LIST file1.dat
KEEPOPEN_LIST file2.dat
KEEPOPEN_LIST file30.dat
An asterisk can be used as a wildcard character to match file1.dat, file2.dat, and file30.dat (or fileanythingelse.dat):
KEEPOPEN_LIST file*.dat
A ? can be used to match a single character, which will match file1.dat and file2.dat but not file30.dat:
KEEPOPEN_LIST file?.dat
NOTE: Wildcard matching does not recognize symlinked folders. For example, if the path "myapp/dx30" has a symlink that renames it to "myapp/dx", a REPLICATE wildcard of “myapp/dx/data*” does not match files in “myapp/dx30” because only the actual file open path is matched.
