The wild card character, "*", may be used in feature API functions requiring a feature code specification, in situations where a search is implied. In such situations, the wild card character may be placed at the beginning and/or end of a set of characters representing a contiguous sub-string common to multiple feature codes. A wild card at the beginning of a specification implies that all feature codes ending with the substring are considered a match. A wild card at the end of the specification implies that all feature codes beginning with the substring are considered a match. A wild card at both the beginning at the end of a specification implies that all feature codes having the substring embedded in the middle are considered a match. The following API functions support wild cards:
FS001-1a setSelectSingleFeature
FS001-1b setSelectFeatureCollection
FS001-2a selectSingleFeature
FS001-2b selectFeatureCollection
FS001-10 getFeaturesInsideShape
VCS003 setFeatureColorAll
VCS004 resetFeatureColorAll
VCS005 setFeatureVisibilityAll
VCS006 resetFeatureVisibilityAll
