The conditions in advanced lists allow use of regular expressions.  For example, you can say a course code contains "[1234]9", which would match on any of a 1,2,3, or 4 followed by a 9, followed by any characters.  e.g. 19abc would match. 

 I would like to fully express the criteria, e.g    'Like [1234]9', which would mean "a 1,2,3, or 4 followed by a 9 and then nothing else".
