Selecting files for restore

I know that wildcards aren't supported for restore operations, but is there any way to simulate them? Specificaly, I want to restrict searches to certain file types.
Of course real wildcard support would be ideal

Search for files of type

try a dot before the extension, so for all jpg's type
.jpg
You cannot put .jpg;.bmp etc, I suppose this could be built in as too could fuzzy matching using * and maybe ?.

Sorry, my question was very misleading
What I want to do is apply a search string to specific file types e.g. find all .xls files with "action" in the filename. Normaly I'd use *action*.xls, but without wildcard support I don't know if this can be done. I suppose ? is heading towards regexes, which would be fun, but far more than I'd ever need.

May be used with wild cards in the restore find options.

Barry, there's something odd here! The link on the download page is to aisbi296.exe but the downloaded file is aisbi269.exe. The installed app says it's 2.2.0.271! I've tried 3 browsers on 2 systems, so I doubt it's a local cache problem.

The foder name was incorrect, our server goes for the closest match - which was wrong - oops.
I just tested the download and it worked okay.

Much better! The wildcarding works perfectly - thanks!

A bit slow though: 20 seconds to search 1.5 million files on this computer!
