List Files - Find Option Does Not Recognize W
DocumentID: 634315

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When in List Files, the option Find (9) does not recognize the asterisk (*) or the question mark (?) as wildcards. For example, a customer has documents that contain the word telephone. In List Files he chooses option 9 for Find and types in "?elephone" for the word pattern. The documents containing the word telephone are not listed. This feature is not working in WordPerfect 5.1 either. Solutions: Although changes haven't been made to WP 5.0, WP 5.1 will allow customers to use the question mark (?) wildcard on the interim release following 08/20/90. The asterisk (*) is still a problem in both WP 5.0 and WP 5.1.
