Capturing Glob

Documentation | Github | Crate

Support for matching file paths against Unix shell style patterns, and capture groups when matching (similarly to captures in regexes).

Usage

And add this to your crate root:

extern crate capturing_glob;

Examples

Print all jpg files in /media/ and all of its subdirectories.

use capguring_glob::glob;

for entry in glob("/media/**/(*).jpg").expect("Failed to read glob pattern") {
    match entry {
        Ok(entry) => println!("Path {:?}, name {:?}",
            entry.path().display(), entry.group(1).unwrap()),
        Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e),
    }
}

Note: in the case above, regular filename matching might be used (i.e. file_stem()), but the library allows you to skip unwraps here, but more importantly you can use user-defined globs like these:

• (*)/package.json

• tests/(*).spec.js

• docs/(section-*).rst

• /usr/share/zoneinfo/(*/*)
