List files on SFTP server matching wildcard in Python using Paramiko

The glob will not magically start working with a remote server, just because you have instantiated SSHClient before. You have to use Paramiko API to list the files, like SFTPClient.listdir: import fnmatch sftp = client.open_sftp() for filename in sftp.listdir(‘/home/test’): if fnmatch.fnmatch(filename, “*.txt”): print filename You can also use a regular expression for the matching, if … Read more

Demystifying the Perl glob (*)

Assignment to a glob *glob = VALUE contains some magic that depends on the type of VALUE (i.e., return value of, say, Scalar::Util::reftype(VALUE)). If VALUE is a reference to a scalar, array, hash, or subroutine, then only that entry in the symbol table will be overwritten. This idiom local *array = shift(); #use @array here … Read more

Globbing interprets the standard wild card characters * and ?, character lists in square brackets, and certain other special characters (such as ^ for negating the sense of a match). When the shell sees a glob, it will perform … Read more

Add all files under a folder to a CMake glob?

Turning my comment into an answer If you want to add recursive searching for files use file(GLOB_RECURSE …) file(GLOB_RECURSE source_list “*.cpp” “*.hpp”) Your second example would translate into file(GLOB_RECURSE BAR “src/baz/*.cpp”) References file(…) Is it better to specify source files with GLOB or each file individually in CMake?
