String globbing in Go

This package adds support for globs in Go.

It simply converts glob expressions to regexps. I try to follow the standard defined here.

Example

package main

import "github.com/zyedidia/glob"

func main() {
    glob, err := glob.Compile("{*.go,*.c}")
    if err != nil {
        // Error
    }

    glob.Match([]byte("test.c"))   // true
    glob.Match([]byte("hello.go")) // true
    glob.Match([]byte("test.d"))   // false
}

You can call all the same functions on a glob that you can call on a regexp.

Overview

Package glob provides objects for matching strings with globs

Index

• type Glob
  • func Compile(pattern string) (*Glob, error)

Types

type Glob

type Glob struct {
	*regexp.Regexp
}

Glob is a wrapper of *regexp.Regexp. It should contain a glob expression compiled into a regular expression.

func Compile

func Compile(pattern string) (*Glob, error)

Compile a takes a glob expression as a string and transforms it into a *Glob object (which is really just a regular expression) Compile also returns a possible error.
