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

[Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning, Explanation: 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 pattern C:\Windows\*\*.exe will match any executable file in any subfolder of the Windows folder, but not in the Windows folder itself., Reference: Falcon Administrator Learning Path | Infographic | CrowdStrike, , , ]
