User Guide for Active@ UNERASER DOS:

3.7. Searching for Files by Name

If you know the name or part of the name of the deleted files or folders, create a search pattern, similar to a search in Microsoft DOS or Windows.

The asterisk or star symbol (*) is used as a wild-card character. The search engine looks for the file name, replacing the star with any number of characters.

The question mark symbol (?) is used to replace a single variable character. The search engine looks for the file name and replaces the question mark with another single character.

Examples of Searchable Expressions:


  *          - All named files on the drive or in the folder
  *.TXT      - All files with the suffix "TXT"
  My*.*      - All files starting with "My"
  MyFile.txt - Search for the file named "MyFile.txt".
  My p????.  - All files starting with "My p" text, having eight characters
         in the file name and no suffix or extension
