Newbie Regex Question

Hello,

I am trying to use the CDE File Manager in AIX to filter out files that I want to be hidden in the file manager. It gives me a script box that I can supposedly enter a regex into if I want to filter out additional file types.

Example: "Also Hide:"_______________

I can put something like *.user to filter out user files, but I can't seem to do more than one file type at a time. I'm not very fluent with regex's, so if anyone has an idea I'd be grateful.

Thanks!
