Using a glob is not the same as walking a directory. A number of the solutions are pointless. |

== What does "match a pattern" mean? == |
|||
For example, if the pattern is "bar", do you want it to match a file named "foobarbaz"? Some examples on here do and some don't. Also, what kind of patterns are allowed? Some people use Perl regular expressions, where ".*" is used to represent "0 or more characters of any kind"; but some use the shell globbing syntax, which use "*" to do that. So what do we want here? --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] 05:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC) |
