A mask allows you to identify contacts, with features in common. If you have entered a From -To range the mask will select contacts from within that range only. If no range has been entered the mask will check against all contact in your database.
A mask is defined using the letters of the alphabet, the numbers, 0-9 and the special characters * and ?. The special characters are wildcards, so that:
-
? substitutes for a single character, and
-
* substitutes for any number of characters.
For example:
-
A*, all those contacts with codes beginning with A are included.
-
[??A*], all those contacts with an A as the third element of the code are included.
It should be remembered that the comparison of the contacts against the mask is case sensitive.
