Wildcard (Computer Virus)

A symbol that enables multiple matching values to be returned based on a shared feature. The script language has two wildcards:

1. The question mark (?) stands for any single character.
2. The asterisk (*) stands for any character string of any length.

For example, the file specification *.* would return all the files, regardless of their file names.
The file specification *.sc? would return all the file names with a three-character extension beginning with sc (such as compusrv.scr, compusrv.scx, and so on).

Wildcard (Technology)

A character used in text searches that increases the number of matches you’ll find. The wildcard character is like a blank. Usually, the "?" stands for a single character and the * stands for one or more characters. For example, if you search for "d?ve" your results may include the words dive, dove or dave. If you searched for "div*," you might get diva, diving or divide.
