What is the function of a single asterisk (*) in an ML exclusion pattern?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The asterisk is a wildcard character that can be used in exclusion patterns to match any number of characters. However, it does not match separator characters, such as or /, which are used to separate portions of a file path. For example, the patternC:Windows**.exewill match any executable file in any subfolder of the Windows folder, but not in the Windows folder itself.

I feel like the asterisk is definitely not just for starting expressions. That sounds off to me, but I can't remember the exact details.

I’m a bit confused about the role of the asterisk. I thought it was just for matching characters, but I can't recall if it has anything to do with variable lists.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the asterisk does include separators. So, I might lean towards option A.

I think the single asterisk matches any number of characters, but I'm not sure if it includes separators like \ or /.
