No, not at all. Without resorting to the "Now he has two problems" quote: His link [1] describes a scenario where someone expects user input and wants it to behave like the default windows globs/wildcards. * means 0-N chars, ? means 0-1 chars, iirc. The link indicates that that cannot (and doesn't want to) educate his uses how to compose regular expressions, so this is the easier (and therefor by definition most likely the better) solution. If the same applies for the OP (or if he's the same, although I doubt that) regular expressions are not a good option.
