Port:
The following functions accept wildcards for at minimum one of their parameters (I'm unsure of items in italics):
discoverFile
findFirstFile
findNextFile
export
deleteVariables

AD
ABD
ABCD

That depends on the expression language. Actually I believe that the one TorqueScript is using would not classify "AD" under the expression "A*D*".

Ipquarx:
deleteVariables("$blah*");
That would delete any global variables starting with blah.

However, a variable named $blah would not be deleted..

$blah = "hi";
$blah::stuff = "hey";
$blah::test = "hello";

deleteVariables("$blah*");

$blah::stuff and $blah::test have now been deleted, but $blah still exists.

I said Starting with, not starting AND ending with.

I know you know, I was just clarifying for Lugnut.
