GlobWalk

Recursively find files in a directory using globs.

Based on both walkdir & ignore (❤), this crate inherits many goodies from both, such as limiting search depth and amount of open file descriptors.

Licensed under MIT.

Why not glob

• The glob crate does not support having {a,b} in patterns.
• globwalk can match several glob-patterns at the same time.
• globwalk supports excluding results with !.
• glob searches for files in the current working directory, whereas globwalk starts at a specified base-dir.

Usage

To use this crate, add globwalk as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
globwalk = "0.3"

The following piece of code recursively find all mp3 and FLAC files:

extern crate globwalk;

use std::fs;

for img in globwalk::glob("*.{png,jpg,gif}").unwrap() {
    if let Ok(img) = img {
        fs::remove_file(img.path()).unwrap();
    }
}
