Wildcards

You can specify wildcards wherever you provide strings that Silk Test Classic will search for:

  • The * character matches zero or more characters.
  • The ? character matches exactly one character.

For example, "David H?ll" matches "David Hill" and "David Hall", but not "David Hiller". "David H*" matches " David Hill", " David Hall", " David Hiller", and " David Hayes".
