Globbing is pattern matching using conventions that grew up with unix but have been widely copied to other operating systems and environments. The rules for the patterns are very different to regular expressions and somewhat simpler.
For what it's worth, I believe you can mechanically translate glob patterns to regular expressions and use the regex engine of your choice.
