RE: [squid-users] Wildcards for filenames

The regular expressions are *nix style regular expressions, not DOS

I think a dot means one or more occurence of preceding character.
The last ones is definetly wrong, you miss an ?.

I think something like sdat[0-9]+\.exe.
But look for yourself, this way you will understand the mechanism.
