EXAMPLES -------- - - The pattern `hello.*` matches any file or folder + - The pattern `hello.*` matches any file or directory whose name begins with `hello.`. If one wants to restrict this only to the directory and not in its subdirectories, one can prepend the pattern with a slash, i.e. `/hello.*`;
