If you want to match a string that ends in foo just write foo$. Adding .* in a regexp (or * in a globbing pattern) in front of foo is pointless unless you wanted to capture the matching string to do something with it, which you don't.

* as the first character in a regexp is undefined behavior per POSIX so YMMV with what any awk would do with that.

Recall that in RegEx (not file globbing) * means "zero or more of the previous character", you need .*\.html probably. Good luck.
