[void]

Code: Select all

*.

is a special search that will only match files with no extension.

What results were you expecting?

[stormbm]

according to the reg the *. will math a.b or a.c (if do not active the match the whole word option)

can.t match the a or b

the char * is match anything , so the *. will math a filename that conclude '.' (dot)

[void]

Using regex:

* Matches the preceding element zero or more times. For example, ab*c matches "ac", "abc", "abbbc", etc. [xyz]* matches "", "x", "y", "z", "zx", "zyx", "xyzzy", and so on. \(ab\)* matches "", "ab", "abab", "ababab", and so on.

Since there is no previous term the results are undefined.

. Matches any single character. Within POSIX bracket expressions, the dot character matches a literal dot. For example, a.c matches "abc", etc., but [a.c] matches only "a", ".", or "c".

You will need to include your . in square brackets, for example:
[.]

If you want to search for files that have an extension use:
[.]

If you want to search for files that do not have an extension use:
[^.]
