Thanks for the "Heads-up".

How long have you been trying for? Perhaps he is on vacation.

It depends on what you need it for.

A '?' and '*' wildcard search is rather limited for a text search. A
regular expression tool might suit your needs.

Andrey Sorokin's RegExp Studio http://regexpstudio.com/ is well
regarded.

The '?' and '*' wildcards are normally used in filemasks and I have a
"MatchesFileMask" function that you can have (it is not particularly
optimized but since file masks are very short, that should not
matter)
..
Otherwise, check out the other links on the page below, you may find
something.
