A period matches any single char, an asterisk will match any number of consecutive chars of the previous char. IE, p* will match pppppppp Since . will match anything (with a couple exceptions), .* will match any combination of digits/chars whatever. To match text chars only you use sets like so [a-zA-Z]* which will match any upper or lower case char and as many more upper or lower case chars that follows in a row.
