Re: [Help-bash] Glob star pattern does not match files beginning with a period

​I've done some more testing of this and found no difference between
​ls -dl .[!.]?*
and
ls -dl .[!.]*

In both cases the . directory does not appear in the output. Why doesn't it
appear in the second command? Does [!.] require a second character?
