As you already know - module creates new menu item where you can configure the module. First element of this menu is "settings" tab. Here you can manage main settings of the plugin, activate some features globally etc. This part of documentation explains available features in this "settings" secttion.
Enable wildcards possible values: YES / NO
A wildcard character can be used to substitute for any other character(s) in a string. Module can work with wildcards, this means that you can generate bulk redirections based on url patterns. Feature - if enabled - will search in the redirection urls for characters that are wildcards. This option allows to use wildcards like:
- Regular expressions You can use regular expressions to define redirections. ? (question mark) this can represent any single character. If you specified something at the command line like "hd?" - script would look for hda, hdb, hdc and every other letter/number between a-z, 0-9.
- (asterisk) this can represent any number of characters (including zero, in other words, zero or more characters). If you specified a "cd*" it would use "cda", "cdrom", "cdrecord" and anything that starts with “cd” also including “cd” itself. "m*l" could by mill, mull, ml, and anything that starts with an m and ends with an l.
- [ ] (square brackets) specifies a range. If you did m[a,o,u]m it can become: mam, mum, mom if you did: m[a-d]m it can become anything that starts and ends with m and has any character a to d inbetween. For example, these would work: mam, mbm, mcm, mdm. This kind of wildcard specifies an “or” relationship (you only need one to match).
- { } (curly brackets) terms are separated by commas and each term must be the name of something or a wildcard. This wildcard will copy anything that matches either wildcard(s), or exact name(s) (an “or” relationship, one or the other). For example, this would be valid: {*printed*,*summer*} - this will check urls for "printed" or "summer" words
- [!] This construct is similar to the [ ] construct, except rather than matching any characters inside the brackets, it\'ll match any character, as long as it is not listed between the [ and ]. This is a logical NOT.
