pub struct Pattern { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A compiled Unix shell style pattern.

  • ? matches any single character.

  • * matches any (possibly empty) sequence of characters.

  • ** matches the current directory and arbitrary subdirectories. This sequence must form a single path component, so both **a and b** are invalid and will result in an error. A sequence of more than two consecutive * characters is also invalid.

  • [...] matches any character inside the brackets. Character sequences can also specify ranges of characters, as ordered by Unicode, so e.g. [0-9] specifies any character between 0 and 9 inclusive. An unclosed bracket is invalid.

  • [!...] is the negation of [...], i.e. it matches any characters not in the brackets.

  • The metacharacters ?, *, [, ] can be matched by using brackets (e.g. [?]). When a ] occurs immediately following [ or [! then it is interpreted as being part of, rather then ending, the character set, so ] and NOT ] can be matched by []] and [!]] respectively. The - character can be specified inside a character sequence pattern by placing it at the start or the end, e.g. [abc-].

Implementations

This function compiles Unix shell style patterns.

An invalid glob pattern will yield a PatternError.

Escape metacharacters within the given string by surrounding them in brackets. The resulting string will, when compiled into a Pattern, match the input string and nothing else.

Return if the given str matches this Pattern using the default match options (i.e. MatchOptions::new()).

Examples
use glob::Pattern;

assert!(Pattern::new("c?t").unwrap().matches("cat"));
assert!(Pattern::new("k[!e]tteh").unwrap().matches("kitteh"));
assert!(Pattern::new("d*g").unwrap().matches("doog"));

Return if the given Path, when converted to a str, matches this Pattern using the default match options (i.e. MatchOptions::new()).

Return if the given str matches this Pattern using the specified match options.

Return if the given Path, when converted to a str, matches this Pattern using the specified match options.
