What use wild card in ms dos?

A Wild card in MS-DOS is a character that can be used to filter the data that you are searching. Wild cards that MS-DOS uses are * and ? This can be understood by the following example: If you want to search all the files starting with the letter - a enter the following command in he command line dir a*.* Of if you want to search all the text files that will start with 'amin', you can use: dir amin*.txt Now, if you want all the files that begin with any letter and ends with 'amin.txt' you can use: dir ?amin.txt which will show you: aamin.txt bamin.txt camin.txt This can be understood completely if you try it out yourself Thank you
