David,

Please post the tests, and if no one steps up, I'll install 2008a

Something like
regexptranslate ('wildcard', '*a?b*c?')
ans =
.*a.b.*c.
regexptranslate ('wildcard','?a*b?c*')
ans =
.a.*b.c.*
regexptranslate ('wildcard','*a? *c?')
ans =
.*a. .*c.
regexptranslate ('wildcard', '?a* ?c*')
ans =
.a.* .c.*
regexptranslate ('escape', '.a/b\c[d]e$f(g)')
ans =
\.a/b\\c\[d\]e\$f\(g\)
I must admit, having just installed 2008a and never looked at what
regexptranslate is intended to do, those results all look surprising.
Hopefully, they are what you expected?

They are the documented behavior. But rather useless as
regexp ('file1.mat file2.mat file3.xls file4.mat',
regexptranslate('wildcard','*.mat'), 'match')
will return
{'file1.mat file2.mat','file4.mat'}
rather than what the user probably wanted
{'file1.mat','file2.mat','file4.mat'}
and it doesn't follow the example in the documentation of
regexptranslate('wildcard','*.mat')
returning '\w+\.mat' which will produce the above. Maybe matlab
special
cased the '*.mat' case and similar... What does the above return with
2008a? With 2008a it returns '.*\.mat'
