Wild Card Characters

You can sometimes use the asterisk (*) as a wild card character to, for example, refer to all components, phases, or species, when showing calculated properties in the POLY module, or when you set axis variables for plotting diagrams in the POST module.

When showing calculated properties in the POLY module, you can also use the dollar sign ($) to refer to all stable phases.

For activity and/or chemical potential properties, the *and $ normally do not work properly as wild card characters.

These are examples of the wild card characters you can use to search commands at the command line prompt.
