Wildcard Character
A wildcard character is a single or a combination of characters
which represent other characters,
as found in text patterns
or regular expressions.
For example, the regular expression "\<.*ed\>" finds (or matches) any word that ends with "ed". Here we use three different wildcard characters "\<" representing the beginning of a word, ".*" representing any number of characters or numbers, "\>" representing the end of a word.
