Regular expressions are like super-charged wildcards. In the DOS or
Windows command.com or cmd.exe shell, you can use wildcards * and ? to
match any characters, or a single character. In Linux and Macintosh
shells, you have the same thing only even more so.
Just being picky but from Windows 2000 onwards you can use full regex in
the "DOS" command shell too. You need to toggle a registry option I
believe but "help cmd" will tell all.
File and command completion are likewise available if desired.
The Windows command line has most of the stuff Bash has. It's the
scripting language that still sucks! (And for that there
is WSH or Power Shell)
