Regular expression for validating file-spec wildcards

Asked by peetm in Regular Expressions

Hopefully pretty simple ... could someone please provide me with a reg-exp that can be used to verify that a user has entered a valid file-spec, which may include wildcards [under windows], for example, if they enter ??a*.exe I'd like to continue, but if they were to enter \-/:.exe I'd like to *not* :-).  Note, I'll be using vbscript's regexp object to test for this.Start Free Trial
