title: Regular expressions: Matching strings starting with dot (.)?
body: <p>I am a complete Reg-exp noob, so please bear with me. Tried to google this, but haven't found it yet.</p>
  
  <p>What would be an appropriate way of writing a Regular expression matching files starting with a dot, such as <code>.buildpath</code> or <code>.htaccess</code>? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
