As an alternative to Regular Expressions, you can enable the easier-to-use wildcards:
?: match any character except a dot.*: match zero or more characters.
The wildcard syntax is enabled with the cli.wildcard option. By default, it is disabled. When enabled, all commands that take a regular expression will accept a wildcard expression instead.
Note: You can either use regular expressions or widlcards, but not both simultaneously.
The following commands can use the wildcard syntax:
- ls, lls
- mput, mget
- rput, rget (when using the ––
filter option) - mrn, lmrn
- mdel, lmdel
Examples
List all files ending with .docx:
set cli.wildcard 1
ls *.docx
Delete all files starting with DSC:
set cli.wildcard 1
mdel DSC*
Transfer, for example, the files fill.txt and fell.txt
set cli.wildcard 1
mput f?ll.txt
