Comments

The data type can be specified using either the name or the index number of the data type.

Data files can consist of many different types of data. "Type" depends on the data file.

You can use an asterisk or a question mark to represent a character.

An asterisk, *, can represent one or more characters.
A question mark, ?, can represent only one character.
