Match file paths against Unix style patterns called globs.

glob is a cross-platform, pure Nim implementation of globs that supports creating patterns, testing file paths, and walking through directories to find matching files or directories.

You can find the full documentation here.

Install using Nimble:

nimble install glob

Then import and use:

import glob

const pattern = glob("src/**/*.nim")
assert "src/foo.nim".matches(pattern)
assert "src/lib.rs".matches(pattern).not

# directories are expanded by default
# so `src` and `src/**` are equivalent
for path in walkGlob("src"):
  # every file in `src` or its subdirectories
  echo path

To build glob from source you'll need to have Nim installed, and should also have Nimble, Nim's package manager.

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/citycide/glob.git
2. Move into the newly cloned directory: cd glob
3. Make your changes: src, tests.nim
4. Run tests: nimble test
