No, the user does not know anything about regex and
I just want to parse it automatically.

What I'm doing now is to use ValentinaEscapeString(string, FALSE)
and escape the "(" and ")" and "." and some other characters manually.

So the search should return the records, but it doesn't.
Example:

I have a couple of records where the name "petrova" appears.
This query returns 2 records (correct):

LIKE '(?i)petrova'

These queries, using the regex do not return ANY records:

LIKE '(?i)petr*va'

LIKE '(?i)petr?va'

But they should, or not? I tried in viSQL, vStudio and V4MD.
