FIlter in Galaxy for string with wildcards

Question

[techdemonstrations]

In Galaxy, I'm trying to filter tab-delimited variant call data on phrases within certain strings in columns. I've been trying various expressions with the 'Filter' function (Sort and Filter) to achieve this, but it will only search for entire strings. I've also tried wild-cards e.g.

=~
.STRING

But nothing works. It seems like a very simply question with probably a simple solution but I'm near the point that I'll just export all my data to R and perform it with that. Anybody any ideas?

Just use grep, which is labeled as "search in text files" on the main public Galaxy site.
