Contiguous (..), and Noncontiguous (,) page position wild cards.
You must type these wild card characters using your keyboard; no
buttons are available. For example:

Avoid using the characters *, %, #, and $ in filenames. Those are
wild card characters in APA text file syntax.
Legend
Match Letters
Match letters (a-z A-Z) in the page filename. For example
.p1.pdf matches filenames Book.p1.pdf, Front matter.p1.pdf,
and JobXYZ.p1.pdf.
You can also specify the number of characters that this wild
card will match.
To verify the number of characters that will be matched, move
the cursor over the icon and check the length that is listed.
