Ah. Now that you actually showed us what you're doing, there are
two problems:
1. "aspnet*.*" is trying to match a *schema* name starting with "aspnet",
not a *table* name. What you want is more like "*.aspnet*", or possibly
"riopoderoso.aspnet*". (You can't just write "aspnet*", because
riopoderoso isn't going to be in pg_dump's search path, and that pattern
would only match tables in the search path.)
2. You're not accounting for case. Per the discussion of patterns
in the psql reference manual, to match an upper-case name you'd need
to spell it with the correct casing and then put double quotes around
it.
Actually there's a third problem, which is to get the shell to not strip
the double quotes from the pattern before handing it to pg_dump.
For me, a dump command like
pg_dump -n riopoderoso -T '*."AspNet"*' ...
does what you want. However, I gather you're doing this on Windows,
and I'm not sure whether shell command quoting rules are the same there.
You might need something weird like backslashing the double quotes.
