+ Wildcard Matching
+
+
+ Most command shells such as bash or cmd.exe support "file
+ globbing", the ability to identify a group of files by using
+ wildcards.

+
+ Wildcard matching provides four features:
+
+
+
+ - Any character represents itself apart from those
+ mentioned below. Thus 'c' matches the character 'c'.
+
+ - The '?' character matches any single character.
+ - The '*' matches zero or more of any characters.
+ - Sets of characters can be represented in square brackets.
+ Within the character class, like outside, backslash
+ has no special meaning.
+
+
+
+
+ For example we could identify HTML files with
+ *.html. This will match zero or more characters
+ followed by a dot followed by 'h', 't', 'm' and 'l'.
