About
PHP can do glob-based directory listings and can also check a given filename string against a given glob string.
See also: globbing
Functions
- Template:Fmt/code reports whether the given filespec string matches the given wildcard string
- Note that this does appear to work as expected for filespecs (not just filenames):
php > echo "MATCH: [".fnmatch('/*test/*thing','/sometest/something')."]\n";
MATCH: [1]
php > echo "MATCH: [".fnmatch('/*test/*thing','/sometest/somethong')."]\n";
MATCH: []
php > echo "MATCH: [".fnmatch('/*test/','/sometest/somethong')."]\n";
MATCH: []
php > echo "MATCH: [".fnmatch('/*test/*','/sometest/somethong')."]\n";
MATCH: [1]
- Template:Fmt/code accepts a filespec that includes a file mask, and returns a list of matching filespecs.
- A file mask in this context can be e.g. Template:Fmt/code or Template:Fmt/code but not Template:Fmt/code.
- The Template:Fmt/code and Template:Fmt/code wildcards are both recognized.
- The mask may include multiple wildcards, for folders as well as files.
- Example: Template:Fmt/code will return all files beginning with b inside root-level folders beginning with b.
