This feature request is to add support for matching multiple fields with regular expressions. This will be more powerful way to select fields than glob syntax. This will require new syntax, currently proposed as quoted strings prefixed with a tilde, like in /~"q.*p". Matches will be determined using MATLAB's implementation of regular expressions; see this MathWorks article on regular expressions for details.
