FishEye supports a powerful type of regular expression for matching files and directories (same as the pattern matching in Apache Ant).
These expressions use the following wild cards:
? |
Matches one character (any character except path separators) |
* |
Matches zero or more characters (not including path separators) |
** |
Matches zero or more path segments. |
Remember that Antglobs match paths, not just simple filenames.
- If the pattern does not start with a path separator i.e. / or \, then the pattern is considered to start with /**/.
- If the pattern ends with / then ** is automatically appended.
- A pattern can contain any number of wild cards.
Also see the Ant documentation.
Examples
*.txt |
Matches /foo.txt and /bar/foo.txt but not /foo.txty or /bar/foo.txty/ |
/*.txt |
Matches /foo.txt but not /bar/foo.txt |
dir1/file.txt |
Matches /dir1/file.txt, /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt |
**/dir1/file.txt |
Same as above. |
/**/dir1/file.txt |
Same as above. |
/dir3/**/dir1/file.txt |
Matches /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt but not /dir3/file.txt,/dir1/file.txt |
/dir1/** |
Matches all files under /dir1/ |
