can you help me understand the differences in the output of the
below program?
given these three filenames: t.txt t1.txt t11.txt
with mask t?.txt why does MatchesMaskList not show t.txt and
t11.txt like plain findfirst?
"?" means "a single arbitrary character". findfirst with "t?.txt"
should not match t.txt nor t11.txt either. On the other hand, "t*.txt"
means "t followed by 0 or more arbitrary characters and ending
in .txt". That should/will match both t.txt and t11.txt
