|
Wildcard Match provides an enhanced fnmatch, glob, and pathlib library in order to provide
|
|
file matching and globbing that more closely follows the features found in Bash. In some
|
|
ways these libraries are similar to Python's builtin libraries as they provide a similar
|
|
interface to match, filter, and glob the file system. But they also include a number of
|
|
features found in Bash's globbing such as backslash escaping, brace expansion, extended
|
|
glob pattern groups, etc. They also add a number of new useful functions as well, such as
|
|
globmatch which functions like fnmatch, but for paths.
|
|
Wildcard Match also adds a file search utility called wcmatch that is built on top of fnmatch and globmatch. It was
|
|
originally written for Rummage, but split out into this project to be used by other
|
|
projects that may find its approach useful.
|
|
Bash is used as a guide when making decisions on behavior for fnmatch and glob. Behavior may differ from Bash version to Bash version,
|
|
but an attempt is made to keep Wildcard Match up with the latest relevant changes. With
|
|
all of this said, there may be a few corner cases in which we've intentionally chosen to
|
|
not exactly mirror Bash. If an issue is found where Wildcard Match seems to deviate in an
|
|
illogical way, we'd love to hear about it in the issue tracker.

|
Features
|
|
A quick overview of Wildcard Match's
|
|
Features:
|
|
Provides an interface comparable to Python's builtin in fnamtch, glob, and pathlib.
|
|
Allows for a much more configurable experience when matching or globbing with many more features. Adds support for ** in glob.
|
|
Adds support for escaping characters with \.
|
|
Add support for POSIX style character classes inside sequences: [[:alnum:]], etc. The C locale is used for byte strings and Unicode properties for Unicode strings.
|
|
Adds support for brace expansion: a{b,{c,d}} --> ab ac ad.
|
|
Adds support for expanding ~ or ~username to the appropriate user path.
|
|
Adds support for extended match patterns: @(...), +(...), *(...), ?(...), and !(...).
|
|
Adds ability to match path names via the path centric globmatch.
|
|
Provides a pathlib variant that uses Wildcard Match's glob library instead of Python's default.
|
|
Provides an alternative file crawler called wcmatch.
|
|
And more...
