Regular Expression and Wildcard Modifiers

Regular expression and wildcard modifiers are supported for various properties in which you can search for a text pattern. These modifiers add special rules to text comparison so that the BarTender action can perform a more precise search for the specified text pattern. Regular expression and wildcard modifiers differ from other special characters in that they are used only to modify a text pattern search, so they are not embedded in the processed data.

Properties that support regular expression or wildcard modifiers display the control to the right of the property. Click to view a list of supported regular expression or wildcard modifiers, and then click the modifier that you want to add to the property.

On some property tabs, you might need to click to select the Use Regular Expression check box to make the control available. On other property tabs, you must click Use Wildcards (* and ?) or Use Regular Expression in the Search Method list.
