`*` represents zero or more characters.	Syntax: `WLD("MiCrO")` Will match `MiCrO` followed by zero or more characters Syntax:* `WLDi("micro*")` Will match `micro`, with any combination of upper- or lower-case letters, followed by zero or more characters.
`?` represents a match for any 1 character (besides line terminators).	Syntax: `WLD("W?b")` Will match `Web`. Syntax: WLDi("w?b") Will match `web`, with any combination of upper- or lower-case letters.
