Wildcards
Wildcards can be used in various features, for example to define ignore filters or watch filters.
WebSite-Watcher supports the following three types of wildcard filters with the restriction that only one asterisk is allowed per wildcard definition.
• | *EndText This form filters everything from the page beginning to the first occurrence of "EndText". For example: *Daily News |
• | StartText*EndText This form filters all text areas which begin with "StartText" and end with "EndText". For example: Downloads:*Publisher |
• | StartText* This form filters everything from the last occurrence of "StartText" to the end of the page. For example: Users online* |
All defined wildcard filters are case insensitive, they are converted to lowercase internally.
