Detailed Description

This class can be used to test for string matches against standard Unix-shell filename globbing conventions.

It serves as a portable standin for the Posix fnmatch() call.

A GlobPattern is given a pattern string, which can contain operators like *, ?, and []. Then it can be tested against any number of candidate strings; for each candidate, it will indicate whether the string matches the pattern or not. It can be used, for example, to scan a directory for all files matching a particular pattern.

Member Function Documentation

bool GlobPattern::get_case_sensitive ( ) const [inline]

Returns whether the match is case sensitive (true) or case insensitive (false).

The default is case sensitive.

Definition at line 124 of file globPattern.I.

Returns the initial part of the pattern before the first glob character.

Since many glob patterns begin with a sequence of static characters and end with one or more glob characters, this can be used to optimized searches through sorted indices.

const string & GlobPattern::get_nomatch_chars ( ) const [inline]

Returns the set of characters that are not matched by or ?.

Definition at line 146 of file globPattern.I.

const string & GlobPattern::get_pattern ( ) const [inline]

Returns the pattern string that the GlobPattern object matches.

Definition at line 100 of file globPattern.I.

Returns true if the pattern includes any special globbing characters, or false if it is just a literal string.

Definition at line 26 of file globPattern.cxx.

int GlobPattern::match_files ( vector_string &  results,
const Filename cwd = Filename() 
) const

Treats the GlobPattern as a filename pattern, and returns a list of any actual files that match the pattern.

This is the behavior of the standard Posix glob() function. Any part of the filename may contain glob characters, including intermediate directory names.

If cwd is specified, it is the directory that relative filenames are taken to be relative to; otherwise, the actual current working directory is assumed.

The return value is the number of files matched, which are added to the results vector.

bool GlobPattern::matches ( const string &  candidate) const [inline]
void GlobPattern::set_case_sensitive ( bool  case_sensitive) [inline]

Sets whether the match is case sensitive (true) or case insensitive (false).

The default is case sensitive.

Definition at line 112 of file globPattern.I.

void GlobPattern::set_nomatch_chars ( const string &  nomatch_chars) [inline]

Specifies a set of characters that are not matched by or ?.

void GlobPattern::set_pattern ( const string &  pattern) [inline]

Changes the pattern string that the GlobPattern object matches.
