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.
