You’re most likely seeing a special feature of some shells that allow wildcard filename patterns to match across directory boundaries, as opposed to a single *, which is a wildcard that matches only within a directory. If you do not have such a shell, ** will likely be equivalent to *, because “matching zero or … Read more
$files = glob(‘path/to/temp/*’); // get all file names foreach($files as $file){ // iterate files if(is_file($file)) { unlink($file); // delete file } } If you want to remove ‘hidden’ files like .htaccess, you have to use $files = glob(‘path/to/temp/{,.}*’, GLOB_BRACE);
Bash case does not use regular expressions, but shell pattern matching only. Therefore, instead of regex ws-[0-9]+\.host\.com you should use pattern ws*.host.com (or ws-+([0-9]).host.com, but that looks a bit advanced and I’ve never tried that 🙂
Here’s how I did it – you essentially have to walk up the paths, you can’t wildcard more than one level in any direction: # Ignore everything: * # Except for the themes directories: !wordpress/ !wordpress/*/ !wordpress/*/wp-content/ !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/ !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/* !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/*/* !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/*/*/* !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/*/*/*/* !wordpress/*/wp-content/themes/*/*/*/*/* Notice how you have to explicitly allow content for each level you … Read more
No fancy tricks needed: for i in *.java; do [ -f “$i” ] || break … done The guard ensures that if there are no matching files, the loop will exit without trying to process a non-existent file name *.java. In bash (or shells supporting something similar), you can use the nullglob option to simply … Read more
The easiest way would be to filter the glob results yourself. Here is how to do it using a simple loop comprehension: import glob res = [f for f in glob.glob(“*.txt”) if “abc” in f or “123” in f or “a1b” in f] for f in res: print f You could also use a regexp … Read more
Indeed, use of the -LiteralPath parameter is the best solution (in PowerShell [Core] v6+, you can shorten to -lp): $content = Get-Content -LiteralPath $i.Fullname -LiteralPath ensures that $i.Fullname is taken verbatim (literally); that is, [ and ] in the path are interpreted as themselves rather than having special meaning (see below). As for what you … Read more
To summarize and complement gravity’s and Brian Reynolds’s helpful answers: There are two distinct problems with your approach: Targeting C: probably doesn’t (always) do what you want, because C: refers to whatever happens to be the current location (working dir.) on drive C: at the moment. To target the root folder of drive C:, you … Read more
Globbing is also planned for implemented in Java 7. See FileSystem.getPathMatcher(String) and the “Finding Files” tutorial.
There are 2 ways. Use glob to do recursive search: <?php // Does not support flag GLOB_BRACE function rglob($pattern, $flags = 0) { $files = glob($pattern, $flags); foreach (glob(dirname($pattern).’/*’, GLOB_ONLYDIR|GLOB_NOSORT) as $dir) { $files = array_merge( [], …[$files, rglob($dir . “/” . basename($pattern), $flags)] ); return $files; } // usage: to find the test.zip file … Read more
