How can I cause "?" to represent really

11 Aug 17 10:54:26

   From: coulon@cacas.pam.obs-nice.fr   
      
   I have a set of file name p1.tif, p2.tif... p10.tif...p225.tif. When I say dir   
   or copy p???.tif all 225 files are taken into account. In other words "?"   
   means either 1 or 0 character. How can I select the files that really have 3   
   characters between p and .tif?   
      
   Regards
