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.
