# VB “Like” Syntax

The value in the white list or black list of a processor can contain special characters; this makes it possible to use pattern for value matching. The matching is done by using Visual Basic “Like” operators.

| Characters in Pattern | Matches in String |
| --- | --- |
| ? | Any single character |
| * | Zero or more characters |
| # | Any single digit (0–9) |
| [ charlist ] | Any single character in charlist |
| [! charlist ] | Any single character not in charlist |
