? The question mark meta-character (?) acts in the same way as the asterisk (*), except that the question mark meta-character matches only 1 alphanumeric character. For example, suppose in your list of features, you have the following:
PLN1
LINE1
LINE2
CIR1
CIR2
Question mark (?) meta-character
For example, if you want to select all the circle features (CIR1 and CIR2) using the question mark (?) meta-character, in the Search ID box, type CIR? and press the Tab key. PC-DMIS looks for all features that meet the search criteria, which in this case, is a feature with an ID 4 characters long with the first 3 characters being "CIR".
To use the question mark (?) meta-character:
Place your cursor in the Search ID box.
Type search criteria using the question mark (?).
Press Tab.
PC-DMIS selects the features that meet the search criteria.
You can use the question mark (?) meta-character multiple times in any one search. You can also use it with the asterisk (*) meta-character.
