Globber
for a file path, that means you can use file globbing patterns to affect more than one file at a time. Globbing patterns are common in Bash as well as places like your .gitignore
file. They use common wildcard patterns to provide a partial path that can match zero or hundreds of files all at the same time.ca?.txt
would match car.txt
, and cat.txt
, but not cart.txt
. You can use a wildcard more than once. p?p?.cf?
would match files named papa.cfm
and pipe.cfc
.d*o
matches doodoo
, dao
, and just do
. The wildcard only counts inside a file or folder name, so models/*.cfc
will only match cfc files in the root of the models folder.models/**.cfc
that would match any cfc file in any subdirectory, no matter how deep.
