Dear GreenHouse tool and product user, all GreenHouse products supports wildcards where ever meaningful:
This makes their use easier.

The commonly used wildcard characters on the Tandem|NSK system are:
* (asterisk) - defines any number (zero to n) of any type of characters
? (question mark) - defines exactly any ONE character

e.g.

$GHS?.CARL.TEST* addresses the range of:
$GHS? $GHS ? $GHSZ
CARL CARL is a complete name (no wildcards)
TEST* TEST ? TESTZZZZ

In summary: The wildcard above is everything between:

$GHS.CARL.TEST and $GHSZ.CARL.TESTZZZZ

The wildcard schema described above works quite well, but it does not differentiate between alphabetical and numerical characters. But this differentiation is sometimes very helpful!



To satisfy this requirement, GreenHouse extended the wildcard schema, and implemented it for all its tools and products.
