how to use wildcard character in Node name of Pin-Planner

In Pin-Planner, I want to use wildcard to represent the node names listed below. How should I do?

dp1_rx_dp[0],dp1_rx_dn[0],

dp1_rx_dp[1],dp1_rx_dn[1],

dp2_rx_dp[0],dp2_rx_dn[0],

dp2_rx_dp[1],dp2_rx_dn[1],

Should it be "dp*_rx_d*

[*]" ?

Where can I find a complete document for how to use wildcard character in Quartus II?

    Pin planner is where abstract notions of signals get mapped to physically real pins. The signal names must be fully specified to map them to a pin. Although it might be helpful to use * to map a bus to the same I/O standard I don't think that's possible.

    Hi Galfonz, Thanks for reply.

    Yes. The intention is just to map these signals to the same I/O standard. For the pin mampping, I have fully specified the name for each pin(see picture 1).

    Now, i'm want to spcify these signals to the same I/O standard "1.5V PCML". Can I use wildcard like "dp*_rx_d*[*]" ?
