Globbing is the * and ? and some other pattern matchers you may be familiar with. Globbing interprets the standard wild card characters * and ?, character lists in square brackets, and certain other special characters (such as ^ for negating the sense of a match). When the shell sees a glob, it will perform … Read more
Yes, it is possible using the fnmatch method: File.fnmatch(“foo*”, “food”) #=> true
This seems to work: gulp.src([ baseDir + ‘/**’, // Include all ‘!’ + baseDir + ‘/excl1{,/**}’, // Exclude excl1 dir ‘!’ + baseDir + ‘/excl2/**/!(.gitignore)’, // Exclude excl2 dir, except .gitignore ], { dot: true }); Excluding single file from glob match was tricky because there’s no similar examples in minimatch docs. https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch “If the … Read more
The difference is mentioned in the documentation itself: Return an iterator which yields the same values as glob() without actually storing them all simultaneously. Basically list will have all the items in memory. Iterator need not, and hence it requires less memory.
(late edit for a feature added in Git 1.8.5, after the question and answer were written:) Git’s pathspecs ordinarily match * with any path substring, including / separators, but you can use shell pathname-matching conventions by adding a magic :(glob) prefix. So to list just the files in the current directory, git ls-files ‘:(glob)*’ # … Read more
There is no need to use find. You could try the following: for file in /path/to/directory/**/*(.); do echo $file; done or for file in /path/to/directory/**/*(.); echo $file the ** pattern matches multiple directories recursively. So a/**/b matches any b somewhere below a. It is essentially matches the list find a -name b produces. (.) is … Read more
The problem is that the glob will only expand if the file “rotten_eggs” exists, because it is included in the glob pattern. You should use an array. FOO=( ryan/smells-* ) touch “${FOO[@]/%//rotten_eggs}” The FOO array contains everything matched by the glob. The expansion using % appends /rotten_eggs to each element.
I have that in my gist. I created a stl wrapper around glob so that it returns vector of string and take care of freeing glob result. Not exactly very efficient but this code is a little more readable and some would say easier to use. #include <glob.h> // glob(), globfree() #include <string.h> // memset() … Read more
The brackets in glob are used for character classes (e.g. [a-z] will match lowercase letters). You can put each bracket in a character class to force them being matched: path1 = “/Users/smcho/Desktop/bracket/[[]10,20[]]” [[] is a character class containing only the character [, and []] is a character class containing only the character ] (the closing … Read more
