Version:           4.5.3 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

The payee matching should allow for wildcards or regular expressions for transactions that have the transaction id in the payee field such as:

SOMECOMPANY*

Would match:

SOMECOMPANY 03456
SOMECOMPANY 02638

And so on.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual Results:  
N/A

Expected Results:  
SOMECOMPANY*

Would match:

SOMECOMPANY 03456
SOMECOMPANY 02638

I think that exists already, unless I'm missing something.

If you enter Payees view and select a payee, then the Matching tab, if you then select Match on a name listed below, then enter SOMECOMPANY into the box, then update, I think that will give you what you want.

You may even be able to use regex there, too, but I'm not sure about that.

Yes, using the third option (Match on a name listed below) is really a regex match, so wildcards at the beginning and end are not needed.  This is mentioned in the handbook, although it is not really emphasized or explained in any detail.

As per first and second comment: There was and is regex matching for payees.
