I am unsure where to start.

Are you asking for "What is a wildcard in general" or for specific QV functions that support wildcards, like LIKE operator, WILDMATCH() function?

If you understand what a wildcard is, the "why ...?" should already be answered at that point in time.

Whenever you want to match part of a string, but the target piece has no fixed place. For example, I want all records that have ABC in their ID::

ID

123ABC456

90234ABC1

0DEF10000

101779ABC0
