Special characters for compound wildcard patterns are summarized below.

Table 11: Compound Wildcard Patterns

CHARACTER

DESCRIPTION

 

 

&

“And Also” for a compound wildcard pattern. If a component basic wildcard

 

pattern is preceded by & (or is the first basic wildcard pattern in the

 

compound wildcard pattern), it must successfully match.

 

Example: *NY*&*Router* matches all strings which contain NY and also

 

contain Router.

 

Example: <1-100>&*[02468] matches even numbers between 1 and 100

 

inclusive. The <1-100> component only passes numbers in the correct range

 

and the *[02468] component only passes numbers that end in an even digit.

 

Example: *A**B*&*C* matches strings that contain either an A or a B, and

 

also contain a C.

 

 

~

“Except” for a compound wildcard pattern (opposite function of &).If a

 

component basic wildcard pattern is preceded by ~, it must not match.

 

Example: 10.20.30.*~10.20.30.50 matches all devices on network

 

10.20.30 except 10.20.30.50.

 

Example: *Router*~*Cisco*&*10.20.30.*~10.20.30.<10-20>* matches a

 

Router, except a Cisco router, with an address on network 10.20.30, except

 

not 10.20.30.10 through 10.20.30.20.
