Ok, that makes sense, I will try to find an easy work around using regsubst or 
external node.

Feature #286: Support wildmat/regex matches
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/286

Author: admin
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: luke
Category: language
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Hard
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.25.0
Keywords: 


Having wildmat/regex pattern matching for node, case, if, etc would be very 
powerful.

Instead of assuming all strings are one type or another, one possibility would 
be to assume strings without any meta-chars to be an exact match, those with 
meta-chars to be interpreted wildmat (globbing), and those prefixed with "re:" 
(or %r) to be interpreted as regex. This maintains compatibility without 
surprises for those not using/familiar with regex.

wildmat/globbing looks cleaner for common cases (eg "node: farm*" for matching 
all "farmXXX" hosts), but regex is more precise (thus i enjoy having both).
