What about wildcard ?

Wildcad can be used in the source folder, it is useful feature that you can just copy or move some files which match your needs in this folder .

Commonly used wildcards are the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?).

The asterisk (*)

The asterisk represents any number of unknown characters. Use it when searching for documents or files for which you have only partial names.

For example, the folder contain some files :

cherry.jpg
cherrycake.jpg
my note.txt

if you enter cherry* as your match term, the ExtremeCopy might only math these files:

cherry.jpg
cherrycake.jpg

It means filter 'my note.txt' file

The question mark (?)

The question mark represents only one unknown character. Use it when you have a list of files with very similar names, or when you are unsure of a few characters.

For example, if you enter friend?.txt as your match term, the ExtremeCopy might get these files:

friend1.txt
friendn.txt
friend2.txt

However, it would not find friend12.txt because the question mark only covers one character. To find two unknown characters, enter friend??.txt as your match term.
