Sorry but this basically a repeat of an earlier posting with some additional information. The following "PDir" command:
Code:
pdir *.m* /S /A-D /(@Ext[*] fn) | Sort | List
produces the following output (excerpted):
Code:

Searching for "*.m??" gives the expected results.
 
All those files match *.m*.

I don't see that thread anymore... I saw 2, maybe 3 responses to it. Did you see them?

*.m* means anything of any length before the .m and anything of any length after it, no matter where .m appears in the filename.

*.m?? means a name that ends with .m and up to 2 more characters.
 
As Vincent and Tea-Time have explained, it's doing just what you told it to do. I'm changing the thread tag since I'm 100% certain that this is, in fact, not a bug.
