SirTune statement wildcards
There are several SirTune statements that allow the use of wildcard strings to specify a set of matching strings with a single string. These statements and the associated component of SirTune are:
| AUTHORIZE | SIRTUNE |
|---|---|
| RESOLUTION | SIRTUNER or SIRTUNEREPORT |
| SIRTUNED | A CMS command |
The special characters and their meanings in wildcard strings are:
| * | Matches any group of characters including a null string. |
|---|---|
| ? | Matches any single character. |
| " | Indicates that the next character in the wildcard string is to be treated literally, even if it is a double-quotation mark ("), asterisk (*), or question mark (?). |
For example, to match any string, use:
*
To match ABCDEFG and no other strings, use:
ABCDEFG
To match ABC, ABCXXX, ABC22, ABCDEFG, etc. and not match ABXCD, CAB, etc., use:
ABC*
To match XYZ, AXYZ, XYZA, AXYZB, etc. and not match XAYBZ, XYAZ, etc., use:
*XYZ*
To match ABC1, ABCD, ABCZ etc. and not match ABC, ABCDE, ABXC, etc., use:

To match any string with exactly four characters and not match anything else, use:
