Wildcard characters

Wildcard characters can be used in HDL item names in some simulator commands. Conventions for wildcards are as follows:

Syntax	Description
*	matches any sequence of characters
?	matches any single character

You can use square brackets [ ] in wildcard specifications if you place the entire name in curly braces { }:

Syntax	Description
{[abcd]}	matches any character in the specified set
{[a-d]}	matches any character in the specified range
{[^a-d]}	matches any character not in the set

Examples

*

Matches all items.

{*[0-9]}

Matches all items ending in a digit.

{?in*[0-9]}

Matches such item names as pin1, fin9, and binary2.
