Mark, start by reading the Transcript Dictionary entries for
matchText(), matchChunk(), replaceText() and "Regular Expressions
Syntax". Note that "filter" uses wildcards, but not regular expressions.
Do a web search for Perl regular expressions tutorials, or pick up a
book: O'Reilly has a book all about Regular Expressions. Then just
experiment.
Code examples would be a good idea. I will write a few... but I don't
know when.
