So how does this actually work? The shell (bash) considers an asterisk "*" to be a wildcard character that can be used to substitute for: no characters, any other single character or a string of characters. An asterisk/star is only one of the many wildcards in UNIX, but this is the most powerful one and we will be using this one the most for our exercises.

> **NOTE: The wildcard (*) used in shell is different than how it is used in regular expressions.** For example in regular expressions, you have to use .* to mean "zero or more characters".
