I mean
for example * stands for a wildcard character..
because I need to modify a config file that contains..
mfint003???.in* mfint003??.in* ufint101???.in* ufint101??.in* glstd101???.in* glstd101??.in* glstd101grd?

all .in? will be change to .in*
thats the requirement but I don't know why I'm changing that

The asterisk, *, matches 0 or more characters.
The question mark, ?, matches exactly 1 character.
