Hi there,

does AA understand the ? as a wildcard for single characters?
E.g. VirtualBox seems to want creating temporary files like

$HOME/#45678361

These temp files always start with hash key symbol which may
additionally trouble AA rule?

Would the rule

$HOME/#???????? mrw,

cover the syntax of such temp files? What about the hash key.

Do I need to tell AA to see the hash key/pound symbol only as "plain
symbol"?

Ok, I now tried
$HOME/#???????? mrw,
The pound sign seem to be seen just as plain symbol, as desired.


Thanks!
