wildcards

Pattern-matching characters for Attache pathnames

Attache (general information)

NOTE: For ClearCase, see the wildcards_ccase reference page.

? * ~ [ ... ] ... ~username

Attache recognizes wildcard (pattern-matching) characters in these contexts:

Attache commands - Attache expands wildcards in command pathnames with respect to the view, except in three cases-import, lslocal, and put-in which wildcards are expanded with respect to the workspace. In addition, various commands accept pattern arguments that can include wildcards; for example, see find -name, and lsvob vob-tag-pattern. In one of these arguments, a wildcard pattern must be quoted to protect it from evaluation by the command processor itself. For example:

cmd-context lsvob -region "dev*" "*src*"

("pattern" arg; quotes required)

cmd-context ls *.c

(standard pname arg; no quotes required)
Config spec rules - The pathname pattern in a config spec rule is interpreted by a view's associated view_server process.

Attache recognizes these wildcard characters:

?	Matches any single character.
*	Matches zero or more characters.
~	Indicates your home directory on the helper host, except for put, import, and lslocal commands.
[`xyz`]	Matches any of the listed characters.
[`x`-`y`]	Matches any character whose ASCII code falls between that of `x` and that of `y`, inclusive.
. . .	(Ellipsis, a ClearCase extension) Matches zero or more directory levels.
	For example: foo\...\bar matches any of the following pathnames:
	`foo\bar foo\usr\src\bar foo\rel3\bar`
	and foo\... matches the foo directory itself, along with the entire directory tree under it.

See the config_spec reference page for more information, including restrictions.

`cmd-context lsvob -region "dev" "src*"`	`("pattern" arg; quotes required)`
`cmd-context ls *.c`	`(standard pname arg; no quotes required)`
