Currently, we are using like statements to generate the object query. Therefore, we have to use % on the command line. This is somewhat problematic on Windows systems, because % is a special character and thus has to be escaped. This is done by doubling or sometimes quadrupling this character, e.g. XLIB_%%%% as the proper filter in a batch script.

Thus, we want to be able to use * in addition to % for the filter. If we encounter a *, we will automatically convert that to a %.
