Hello Kees!

So the facing asterisk in the working example has a double meaning:

1) Every file name before the dot.
2) Every path.

It sounds a bit odd. :) Usually in *nix shells the wildcard limits it influence 
only on the file name and doesn't touch the path.

Many thanks for the help! :)

Ciao!
Fabio
