Question
I want to match my restricted words against a phrase that contains a ? but when I use ? in the restricted words file it is treated as a wildcard character. Is there some way I can escape these characters.
Answer
Yes, the wildcard characters * and ? can be escaped by putting them in square brackets for example [*] and [?].
Example 1:
| Matching Rule: | Why[?] |
| Matches: | why? |
| Non-Matches: | "why.", "whys" |
Example 2:
| Matching Rule: | Why? |
| Matches: | "why ", "why?", "whys" |
| Non-Matches: | "why" |
