no, it isn't :(
These characters here: \ / " * ? < > | Everything else is fair game.
a file name can contain any type of character, it can be start from any character,number& can start with symbol also.
The asterisk is a special character and cannot be used in the names of any kind of file.
Behavior
A: an ****** or a ?????? Is usually accepted
it is a wildcard for each unknown letter in a command. If you want to find all files in a directory that start with a and have a three letter file extention, you would use the command dir a*.???
the question mark is a wild card for one character if you do not know what letter or number it should be
It's a wildcard which means any single character. For instance: > dir ???.txt This will list all 3-letter file names that have a .txt extension in the current folder. An asterisk can also be used as a wildcard and represents any group of characters. > dir *.txt This will list all file names that have a .txt extension in the current folder.
Yes it is a valid name..
The operating system that typically allows for the smallest file names is Unix-based systems, including Linux. These systems can accommodate file names as short as one character, such as "a" or "1." However, it's important to note that while Unix/Linux systems support short names, the minimum length can also depend on the specific file system being used. In contrast, Windows requires at least a three-character name due to its default file naming conventions.
It depends on its content, obviously.
Globbing is the process of expanding a non-specific file name containing a wildcard character into a set of specific file names that exist in storage on a computer, server, or network. A wildcard is a symbol that can stand for one or more characters. The most common wildcard symbols are the question mark (?) for a single character and the asterisk (*) for a contiguous string of characters regards, Sarabhjeet Singh Khalsa
