Question

period or a backslash?

if you incorporated wildcard characters in the search utility notation that looked like TAX?.*
which of the following files could this locate, which one; Tax2004.xls or Taxi.txt or Tax account.drh.doc or Tax?.doc

Answer 1

1.) You can have all of the above characters, except a backslash.

2.) The wildcard search operator ? only finds 1 character per ?. So tax?.* would find taxi.txt or tax?.doc.

Using tax*.* would find all of the above.
