Module Re_glob

module Re_glob: sig .. end
Shell-style regular expressions

exception Parse_error
val glob : ?anchored:bool -> string -> Re.t
Implements the semantics of shells patterns. The returned regular expression is unanchored by default. If the anchored parameter is provided, the regular expression will only matches whole strings.

Character '/' must be explicitely matched. A dot at the beginning of a file name must be explicitely matched as well. Character '*' matches any sequence of characters and character '?' matches a single character, provided these restrictions are satisfied, A sequence '...' matches any of the enclosed characters. A backslash escapes the following character.

val glob' : ?anchored:bool -> bool -> string -> Re.t
Same, but allows to choose whether dots at the beginning of a file name need to be explicitly matched (true) or not (false)
val globx : ?anchored:bool -> string -> Re.t
val globx' : ?anchored:bool -> bool -> string -> Re.t
These two functions also recognize the pattern {..,..}
