Summary
This PR optimizes
WildcardToRegex()to remove unnecessary start/end wildcard characters per comments on #3962. Thanks to @bdukes for the RegEx tip!Also, since
Replace(oldValue, newValue)just returns the current instance unchanged if theoldValueis not found, I thought we could further optimize by removing the check for*or?in the search term.
