Glob class

A glob for matching and listing files and directories.

A glob matches an entire string as a path. Although the glob pattern uses POSIX syntax, it can match against POSIX, Windows, or URL paths. The format it expects paths to use is based on the context parameter to new Glob; it defaults to the current system's syntax.

Paths are normalized before being matched against a glob, so for example the glob foo/bar matches the path foo/./bar. A relative glob can match an absolute path and vice versa; globs and paths are both interpreted as relative to context.current, which defaults to the current working directory.

When used as a Pattern, a glob will return either one or zero matches for a string depending on whether the entire string matches the glob. These matches don't currently have capture groups, although this may change in the future.

Constructors

Glob(String pattern, { Context context, bool recursive: false, bool caseSensitive }): Creates a new glob with pattern. [...]
factory

Properties

caseSensitive → bool: Whether the glob matches paths case-sensitively.
read-only
context → Context: The context in which paths matched against this glob are interpreted.
final
pattern → String: The pattern used to create this glob.
final
recursive → bool: If true, a path matches if it matches the glob itself or is recursively contained within a directory that matches.
final
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited

Methods

allMatches(String path, [ int start = 0 ]) → Iterable<Match>: Match this pattern against the string repeatedly. [...]
list({String root, bool followLinks: true }) → Stream<FileSystemEntity>: Lists all FileSystemEntitys beneath root that match the glob. [...]
listSync({String root, bool followLinks: true }) → List<FileSystemEntity>: Synchronously lists all FileSystemEntitys beneath root that match the glob. [...]
matchAsPrefix(String path, [ int start = 0 ]) → Match: Match this pattern against the start of string. [...]
matches(String path) → bool: Returns whether this glob matches path.
toString() → String: Returns a string representation of this object.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited

Operators

operator ==(dynamic other) → bool: The equality operator.

Static Methods

quote(String contents) → String: Returns contents with characters that are meaningful in globs backslash-escaped.
