File Functions

Filter
The entry in the Filter data field determines which files (if any) will appear
in the file list. The Filte r data field in Figure 11.1 (page 11–1) shows a
single asterisk (*), which is the default entry in this field. It is used as a
“wildcard” symbol, which means that it can be used as a substitute for all, or
part, of a file name (not file type). When used alone, the asterisk causes all
files to be listed.
The question mark (?) can be used as a wildcard symbol for any single
character in a file name. Multiple question marks can be used, if needed.
To change the current entry in the Filter field, pick the Filter field. When you
do, the keyboard appears, asking “ Enter Filter .” After entering a new file
filter, press the button on the keyboard. At that point, the file list will
be amended according to the new filter.
Figure 11.3 illustrates using the (*) wildcard to amend the file list.
