Filter doesn't take a regular expression at all. It takes a wildcard 
expression, which is conceptually similar to regex but not the same. 
The docs for filter make no reference to the PCRE library 
documentation.

(You may be thinking of matchText and matchChunk, which do take 
regular expressions and which support the suite documented in the 
PCRE manual.)
