Xampp Virtualhost: Wildcard domains and sub-domains

Question

I read through the other post but none seemed to answer the question i have been having. Is it possible to have wildcard Subdomains of wildcard Domains (even if its just for subdomains and not sub-subdomains) like: foo.example.local. I already have example.local working but i can't figure out how to get foo.example.local to grab the files from the folder /sub/foo within the /example folder. My config at this moment (httpd-vhost.conf):

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
</VirtualHost>
<Virtualhost *:80>
VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/%-2"
    ServerName domain.local
    ServerAlias *.local
    <Directory "C:/xampp/www/*">
         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
         AllowOverride All
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
         Require all granted
     </Directory>
</Virtualhost>
<Virtualhost *:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/%-2/sub/%-3"
    ServerName sub.domain.local
    ServerAlias *.*.local
    <Directory "C:/xampp/www/*/sub/*">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted     
    </Directory>
</Virtualhost>

What currently happens is that the foo.example.local simply goes to the example folder and not to the example/sub/foo folder which is what i want it to do.

Oh and i have already enabled: LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so within httpd.conf

Host file contains both lines:

• 127.0.0.1 example.local
• 127.0.0.1 foo.example.local

I figured it out, to add sub-domain functionality both through wildcards i just had to use a second asterisk before in the *.domain.local to * . *.local So the final result will be as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
</VirtualHost>
<Virtualhost *:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/%-2/sub/%-3"
    ServerName sub.domain.local
    ServerAlias *.*.local
    <Directory "C:/xampp/www/*/sub/*">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted     
    </Directory>
</Virtualhost>
<Virtualhost *:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/%-2"
    ServerName domain.local
    ServerAlias *.local
    <Directory "C:/xampp/www/*">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</Virtualhost>

And the important part is this:

VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/%-2/sub/%-3"
ServerName sub.domain.local
ServerAlias *.*.local
<Directory "C:/xampp/www/*/sub/*">

Simple fix making it easy to create Sub domains within the same folder as the main domain. Allowing you to easily create multiple domains within one single project folder.
