DockerEagle Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hey does anyone know if it is possible to have wildcards in windows shortcuts?Overview:- All our designers need access to the latest version of standards, which are dynamic. Each time they change the file name is being updated with the revision eg. Mech Stand v001.pdf. Can we place shortcuts which link to the document like <fullpath>Mech Stand v***.pdf?Or is there another approach i can take to achieve the same outcome?

Scarecrow Man Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I doubt this can be done without writing a script or a simple C++ or VB program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeychris Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 If the file name is changing then a VB will not work. dir *mechstand***.pdf /p /w /s will allow the rotation of a file but it won't pin it down. The wildcard will allow any file that starts with a letter to be found but this still will bring up all others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
