Asterisk “*” wildcard

 

I ran into this just now. Where I had to test to see if an * was selected

I found out that if you use it in an equal = then it becomes a wildcard

 

--Start Results--

Var = Hi


Test EXPR=Var = '*'
Yes


Test EXPR=Var beginswith '*'
No

--End Results--

 

 

In the Documentation it states it will be deprecated in future release

Under <@CALC> help

“The beginswith operator should be used instead of a trailing asterisk as a wildcard in comparisons.The use of asterisks as wildcards is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.”

 

I tested it under T2K and Witango 5 servers and it is still not deprecated.

 

I guess this is still slated for a future release J
