In that case, it's nothing to do with ending a string. What you really
want to know is: How do you match a '*' using a regular expression?
Which is what MRAB answered, courtesy of a working crystal ball: You
use '\*'. Everything about the end of the string is irrelevant. (So,
too, are all the comments about using [-1] or string methods. But we
weren't to know that.)
