AV Exclusions via Wild Card

I'm trying to exclude XSN forms downloaded through our intranet from Sophos Scans. First I assumed that anything on the intranet should not be scanned, but to be safe I thought it might be best to create an exclusion, but adding FORM*.xsn is not allowed.

Is it not possible to have wildcards to match the first characters of a file name? We don't want to exclude all XSN forms, just the forms that meet a specific naming convention.

On that page they make use of ??? to partially acheive what I'm needing, but it sounds like the ? is representative of a fixed number of characters....even though the definition almost makes it sound as if using less characters would still return a positive.

???.PDF excludes all files with names three characters in length and a PDF file extension. Files with a name longer than three characters will be scanned.
