Question

ArunBalaji Ramadoss · Accepted Answer

In a directory context, the pattern [a-c]* will match any combination of zero or more characters that fall within the range of 'a' to 'c'. It will match filenames like "", "a", "aa", "ab", "ac", "aba", "aca", "bbb", "bcc", and so on, but not anything containing characters outside of the range 'a' to 'c'. The asterisk * indicates that any number of occurrences of the preceding pattern, including zero, are allowed.
