That is a backslash followed by a forward slash. The backslash tells the
regex parser to treat the next character as a literal character. Useful for
matching periods, question marks, brackets, etc.
A period matches any character once and an asterisk matches the previous
character any number of times. .* basically means match everything.
Apologies if this is formatted incorrectly. Sending from my phone.
