    an asterisk in regular expressions indicates an arbitrary amount of characters, so its probably avocados

      In regular expressions, it would match “aaaaaaaas”, since the character before the asterisk is what needs to be repeated. To match “avocados”, the pattern would be a.*s (or a\w*s).

      Or alternatively, a*s as a glob pattern would match “avocados”.
