Which of the following wildcard characters does Access use in validation rules to match any number of characters?

When filtering your visual data, previewing anomalies, or using list or dropdown controls in a dashboard, you can quickly search for values that interest you.

You can search for specific values or all values that contain a specific search query. For example, searching for al in a list of U.S. states returns Alabama, Alaska, and California.

You can also use wildcard search to search for all values that match a specific character pattern. For example, you can search for all U.S. states that end with the letters ia and narrow the results down to California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

To search for values in a filter or control, enter a search query in the search bar.

Which of the following wildcard characters does Access use in validation rules to match any number of characters?

The following wildcard characters can be used to find values in QuickSight filters, list and dropdown controls, and anomaly previews.

  • * - Use an asterisk symbol to search for values that match zero to many characters in a specific position.

  • ? - Use a question mark to match a single character in a specific position.

  • \ - Use a backslash to escape the *, ?, or \ wildcard characters and search for them in your query. For example, you can search for phrases that end with a question mark.

Following are examples of how supported wildcard characters can be used in a QuickSight search query.

  • al - This query searches for all values with al and returns Alabama, Alaska, and California.

  • al* - This query searches for all values that begin with al and end with zero to multiple characters. It returns Alabama, and Alaska in a list of U.S. states.

  • *ia - This query searches for all values that begin with zero to multiple characters and end with letters ia. It returns California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

  • *al* - This query searches for all values with zero to multiple characters before and after the letters al. It returns Alabama, Alaska, and California.

  • a?a?a?a - This query searches for all values with a single character in the exact positions between the a letters. It returns Alabama.

  • a?a*a - This query searches for all values with a single character between the first two a letters and multiple characters between the second two a letters. It returns Alabama and Alaska.

  • How*\? - This query searches for values that begin with How, followed by zero to multiple characters, and end with a question mark. The backslash (\) in this query informs QuickSight to search for question marks in each value, rather than use the question mark symbol as a wildcard character. This query returns the questions, How are you? and, How is this possible?

  • \** - This query searches for values that begin with an asterisk and are followed by zero to multiple characters. The backslash (\) in this query informs QuickSight to search for an actual asterisk in the values, rather than use the asterisk symbol as a wildcard character. This query returns values such as *all, *above, and *below.

  • \\* - This query searches for values with a backslash, followed by zero to multiple characters. The first backslash (\) in this query informs QuickSight to search for the second backslash (\) in each value, rather than use the backslash symbol as a wildcard character. This query returns results such as \Home.

  • ??? - This query searches for values that contain three characters. It returns values such as ant, bug, and car.

The rules that you define for your listener determine how the load balancer routes requests to the targets in one or more target groups.

Each rule consists of a priority, one or more actions, and one or more conditions. For more information, see Listener rules.

The console displays the rules in priority order. However, the console displays a sequence number for each rule, which might differ from the rule priority displayed by the AWS CLI or the Elastic Load Balancing API.

Requirements

  • Each rule must include exactly one of the following actions: forward, redirect, or fixed-response, and it must be the last action to be performed.

  • Each rule can include zero or one of the following conditions: host-header, http-request-method, path-pattern, and source-ip, and zero or more of the following conditions: http-header and query-string.

  • You can specify up to three comparison strings per condition and up to five per rule.

  • A forward action routes requests to its target group. Before you add a forward action, create the target group and add targets to it. For more information, see Create a target group.

Add a rule

You define a default rule when you create a listener, and you can define additional nondefault rules at any time.

To add a rule using the console

  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

  2. On the navigation pane, under LOAD BALANCING, choose Load Balancers.

  3. Select the load balancer and choose Listeners.

  4. For the listener to update, choose View/edit rules.

  5. Choose the Add rules icon (the plus sign) in the menu bar, which adds Insert Rule icons at the locations where you can insert a rule in the priority order.
