GlobWalker

Fork of GlobWalk

Recursively find files in a directory using globs.

Based on both walkdir & ignore (❤), this crate inherits many goodies from both, such as limiting search depth and amount of open file descriptors.

Licensed under MIT.

Why not glob

• The glob crate does not support having {a,b} in patterns.
• globwalker can match several glob-patterns at the same time.
• globwalker supports excluding results with !.
• glob searches for files in the current working directory, whereas globwalker starts at a specified base-dir.

Usage

To use this crate, add globwalker as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
globwalker = "0.9.0"

The following piece of code recursively find all png, jpg, or gif files:

extern crate globwalker;

use std::fs;

for img in globwalker::glob("*.{png,jpg,gif}").unwrap() {
    if let Ok(img) = img {
        println!("{:?}", img);
    }
}
