Hi Madeline,

it seems that you have to add wildcards at the beginning and the end,  
otherwise it only matches if your regexp string includes the  
beginning and the end. It behaves as if ^ would be at the beginning  
and $ at the end - I don't know why.
So it should work with
.*beta3_[1-9]_P0101.*
