Globbing patterns

Just a quick overview.

  • * matches any number of characters, but not /

  • ? matches a single character, but not /

  • ** matches any number of characters, including /, as long as it's the only thing in a path part

  • {} allows for a comma-separated list of "or" expressions

  • ! at the beginning of a pattern will negate the match

Various patterns and expected matches.

See multimatch if you need to match against a list instead of the filesystem.
