Regex and VB6

[Techno]

So I am trying to convert this from VB6 into C# but cannot figure out the Regex in C#.

if theData Like "[*]??????????????8" then
...

so in C#, what would the regex be?

I tried:
[*]??8

but this returns true even if it does not end in "8"

sure, could use the "string" way (get the last char and see if it is an 8 or use IndexOf) but that is not the best way and rather have Regex only.

Thanks
