Just for the record, that's not quite correct. The * doesn't behave like in a shell glob. Instead, * says "0 or more copies of the previous character". So the above pattern picks up resul.csv, which I don't think was intended. I don't know what a * is defined to do when it is the first character of a regexp, but I believe it should be avoided.
