A very useful regular expression that I think FoxReplace doesn't have yet #133

Hi, I'd like to ask if FoxReplace have any regular expression that could work 
like this:  
If I'd want to replace "car" to "auto", I'd use a reg-ex to make it precise, 
for which if somewhere there is the word "caar", FoxReplace could recognize the 
regular expression after the "a" of the car, e.g. "ca*r". Like it's on 
LibreOffice, that putting a "*" after a letter, any word with any number of 
only that character would be found.  Of course I used the "*" character only as 
an example.

Is there any reg-ex like that? Or could it be added?

Thanks in advance.

Oops! Never mind, it already exists. I found it in one of Mozilla developer 
guides, explaining about regular expressions.  Sorry...
