asterisk users - Feb 2007 - question about regex

Hi,  I have tried the regex function below with MACRO_EXTEN=5000*.
However, both of them return 0 instead 1 to me.  How can I search the
character in the end of line?

${REGEX("[*]$" ${MACRO_EXTEN})
returns 0

${REGEX("*$" ${MACRO_EXTEN})
returns 0 with error

You must be using Asterisk 1.2.10 or something.  Take a look at 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+func+regex.  The 
workaround is funky: using a variable to represent special characters like 
$.
