Create a new regular expression object. The regular expression is a series of constant strings separated by *s. For example:

*.gif: Matches any string that ends in ".gif".
/tmp/*: Matches any string that starts with "/tmp/".
/tmp/*.gif: Matches any string that starts with "/tmp/" and ends with ".gif".
/tmp/*new*.gif: Matches any string that starts with "/tmp/" and ends with ".gif" and has "new" somewhere in between.
