You need to supply the possible answers you are looking for. In general, * ? + . etc are wildcard characters, along with [] for set inclusions, etc.
The question mark.
Yes .you have to compile a program liketcc myprog wildargs.obj
DIRVerCLSDateTimeLabel
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*.???
I don't really understand your question, but try these commands, they might help to understand the possibilities: touch demo.c echo '*.c' echo "*.c" echo *.c echo \*.c
A wildcard character is a character that can stand in for any other character.On the command line, the normal wildcards are * (match zero or more characters) and ? (match exactly one character).You use them for example when listing or selecting files, like the commandc:\>dir t*would list all files in that directory with a name starting with "t".
Its a wildcard for one character. (Example): if you want to find files in the directory that start with A & have a three letter file extension, you would use: a*.???
You cannot have a file name containing a question mark; it is an invalid character. However, you can use the question mark as a wildcard. E.g., to list every .txt file that has exactly two characters in its file name you would use the following command: dir ??.txt The '?' wildcard simply means any one character. If you wish to specify any group of characters, use the asterisk wildcard instead: dir *.txt For more information, look up "wildcard" in the command line documentation. Most systems limit a file name to alphabet letters A-Z (and a-z) and numbers 0-9 and some special characters such as "$", "_", "#" with a single period separating the name part from an extension part (i.e. document.txt spreadsheet.xls). However, the actual directory structure in modern systems uses 8-bit characters for the file name so it is not impossible to have "invalid" characters in a file name. On the Microsoft platforms, a system or hardware misadventure can resulted in a corrupted file name entry with punctuation or non-printable characters in the file name. Some utilities deal with this by displaying question mark characters as printable substitutes for them. Unix/linux implementations, being less restrictive, allow file names to have non-printable characters by using the backslash ("\") escape code.

If you try the command 'man sed' you see it is listed as one of the examples of what sed can do.
