In terms of globbing, your command says....

match anything, followed by a period (dot), followed by an upper OR lowercase M, followed by an upper OR lowercase P, followed by the number 3.

You could also use curly brackets (depending on your shell)....

ls *.{mp,Mp,mP,MP}3

This will have the same effect as the command you posted.

Cheers

ecppl

ecppl(1)							Tntnet users guide							  ecppl(1)

NAME

       ecppl - language-extractor for ecpp

SYNOPSIS

       ecppl [-I dir] [-ln] [-o output-filename] ecpp-filename

DESCRIPTION

       Ecppl  is  the  language-extractor  for ecpp.  Ecpp - the template-language used with tntnet - supports internationalized applications.	In
       ecpp-templates a tag <i18n> changes the meaning of curly braces.  A phrase, which is enclosed in curly braces, can be translated.  At  run-
       time the phrase is looked up in a language-library.  This mode can be quit with the tag </i18n>.  Phrases must not have newlines or tabs.

       Every  phrase,  which  is  marked as translatable, is extracted with ecppl and written to standard output or to a specified output-filename
       line by line.

OPTIONS

       -I dir Search include-files in directory.  This option can be passed multiple times.  All specified directories are searched  in  turn  for
	      include-files.

       -l     Extract language-phrases (the default)

       -n     Extract non-language-phrases

       -o filename
	      Specify output filename
