Which shell do you use? Bash's default behavior (I don't know whether 
you can change that) is that it doesn't expand * to all files and 
directories but only the nonhidden.

Just try the following:
ls -l --directory --all ~/*

On my system it only shows my a long lost of all directories and files 
without a dot at the beginning although, strictly speaking, the command 
should show all files, even the hidden ones.

Is it possible that you mean regular expressions and not Bash's 
expansion feature?
