I mean a routine like that used in the *nix system to select files:
*[a-r]* will return TRUE for any file name with a letter 'a'..'r' in it.
In some systems I have used more complex mask like {0dd|0ddd} meaning
'if there is something must be a zero followed by 2 or 3 digits'
(our long distance phone codes have that format) etc.
