Using Wildcard Characters

SOTI MobiControl supports the use of the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcard characters to indicate a range of phone numbers. An asterisk matches zero or more digits, and a question mark matches one digit.

Example: 416* matches all phone numbers that start with 416.

Example: 444555123? matches the following phone numbers:

    4445551230
    4445551231
    4445551232
    4445551233
    4445551234
    4445551235
    4445551236
    4445551237
    4445551238
    4445551239

You can also use the two wildcard characters in combination. For example, 4??55512* would match 4325551234, but not 4324321234.
