How to specify “*” character in text-based answers for HD Quiz? The correct answer is “/* <anything can go here" and I want to specify the "/*", but asterisk is already used as a placeholder for anything
How to specify “” character in text-based answers for HD Quiz? The correct answer is “/ <anything can go here" and I want to specify the "/*", but asterisk is already used as a placeholder for anything
Sorry it looks like some of the answer was sanitized
I want to use the asterisk (“*”) in the correct responses list for the text-based answers, but the asterisk is already used to specify “all answers.” Is there a way to escape the asterisk and use it?
because the correct answer needs to have “/*” in it
Hi Rale, * isn’t used to mean “all answers”, it’s used for stemming, so that, for example, dog* would accept dog, doggy, dogs etc as valid.
Your problem is that you want to use * literally as part of the answer. But as long as the * isn’t the last character, you should be OK.
For example, if you edit the question and set a correct answer as abc/*123 then because the * is not the last character, it won’t be stemmed and will be treated literally.
