CASE: You have enjoyed using your new computer-so much so that you have created a lot of files very quickly. As a result, you find yourself regularly needing to search for files to find what you need amidst all that you have created. In using your new computer, you have been doing some freelance work, including producing files for a company named RSM Industries. You created an image file as part of one of your projects, but you cannot remember if it was a GIF or a JPEG image. You do know, however, that the file name begins with RSM. Which of the following would help you find that file?
A) rsm^
B) rsm*
C) rsm&
D) rsm?

Question

Using the asterisk symbol (*) as a wildcard character will help you find a file if you only remember part of the file name. In this case, searching for "rsm*" will bring up any file with "rsm" at the beginning of the file name, regardless of the file type (GIF or JPEG). The caret symbol (^), ampersand symbol (&), and question mark (?) do not function as wildcard characters in this way.
