| Dec 9, 2016 at 22:33 | comment | added | Julie Pelletier | I read your question and I really don't get your confusion, especially since you don't want to include the hidden (dot) files. The examples you don't understand are simply showing that the file name needs to start with the . to be found, whatever the rest if it matches. | |
