Dunno this specific piece of software, but if it uses wildcards like the 'old' command prompt thing, then ? characters specify any letter/character, while * characters specify that a 'piece' of the file name isn't being specified.
Therefore, something along the lines of ?bcdefgh.* would mean that files called anything like zbcdefgh.txt and xbcdefgh.exe would both be 'selected'. Hope this makes sense. FWIW, you can use the * character in both parts of the filenames like abc*.txt is also valid for all txt files beginning with the 'abc' letter combination.
