Wildcard Confusion

[nameless1]

In the RegDefend online help file (http://www.ghostsecurity.com/gsshelp/), it provides this example, among others:

-{ Quote: "
hello*smith

Match

Yes ........... hello mr smith
Yes ........... hello_doctor_smith
Yes ........... hello June have you heard of Dr. smith?
Yes ........... hellosmith
No ............. hello mr smith?
No ............. Should I say hello mr smith?" }-

What I don't get is: Why would hello June have you heard of Dr. smith? match, but hello mr smith? not match? Each of these two examples begins with hello, ends with smith?, and has characters in between the two that should be matched by the wildcard.

Please explain!

Hi nameless1.

I think it's a typo,as hello June have you heard of Dr. smith? has a question mark at the end,it would be a missmatch.
