When a LIKE operator is executed ScriptBasic stores the actual strings that matched the joker and wild card characters from the pattern in an array. Using this function the programcan access the actual value of the n-th string that was matched against the n-th joker or wild card character. For example:
Const nl="\n"
if "file.txt" like "*.*" then
print "File=",joker(1)," extension=",joker(2),nl
else
print "did not match"
endif
will print
File=file extension=txt
