    Question Workaround for "?" wildcard search?

    I discovered (and reported) a bug in Windows (11 only?) where searches using the "?" wildcard produce the same result as using the "*" wildcard (works fine from the "DOS" Command Prompt.)

    The "?" wildcard should only match a single character while "*" matches a string of any length.

    I was trying to count how many files matching "File####.pes" were in a folder, but VS returns any filename matching "File*.pes" (see attached screenshots.)

    I need a way to "filter" my search results to return only files that match a specific pattern. TIA
