Not unless you make some serious patches to the Nagios core, no. Today, 
configuration files are parsed on a per-line basis. You would either 
need to introduce another variable to maintain 'unfinished line' state, 
or have some routine pre-parse the files before handing them over to the 
'real' parsing routine (which would in that case have to be modified to 
some extent).

Please be careful to separate wildcards from regular expressions. If you 
mean to match any character exactly once in a regexp, you'd put a dot 
(.), and not a question mark. AFAIK, the only wildcard supported is the 
asterisk (*).
