title: Patterns with special characters in Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LikeOperator.LikeString does not work
body: <p>I have tried to use the LikeOperator.LikeString functionality for pattern matching as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    // Usage: bool matchValue = LikeOperator.LikeString(string, pattern, CompareMethod);
      bool match = LikeOperator.LikeString("*test*/fe_quet", "(*)test(*)/*", Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompareMethod.Text);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above should return true as per the documentation, but it simply returns false. I tried to escape the (*) with the brackets, but it does not seem to work in that way. Could anyone please help me to define the pattern string with the special characters?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
