A '*' matches zero or more arbitrary characters.

The character class '[...]' matches any single character specified within the
brackets. The closing bracket is treated as a member of the character class if
it immediately follows the opening bracket. i.e. '[]]' matches a single close
bracket. Within the class '-' can be used to specify a range unless it is the
first or last character. e.g. '[A-Cf-h]' is equivalent to '[ABCfgh]'. A
character class can be negated by specifying '^' as the first character. To
match a literal '^' place it elsewhere within the class.

The characters '?', '*' and '[' lose their special meaning if preceded by a
single '\'. A single '\' can be matched as '\\'.

l=MatchFiles(".", "*.mpg")
