Crate globwalk [−] [src]

Recursively find files in a directory using globs.

Features include

gitignore's extended glob syntax
Control over symlink behavior
Control depth walked
Control order results are returned

Examples

Finding image files in the current directory.

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();
    }
}

Tweak walk options

extern crate globwalk;

use std::fs;

let walker = globwalk::glob("*.{png,jpg,gif}")
    .unwrap()
    .max_depth(4)
    .follow_links(true)
    .into_iter()
    .filter_map(Result::ok);
for img in walker {
    fs::remove_file(img.path()).unwrap();
}

Advanced Globbing

By using one of the constructors of globwalk::GlobWalker, it is possible to alter the base-directory or add multiple patterns.

extern crate globwalk;

use std::fs;

let walker = globwalk::GlobWalker::from_patterns(BASE_DIR, &["*.{png,jpg,gif}", "!Pictures/*"])
    .unwrap()
    .into_iter()
    .filter_map(Result::ok);

for img in walker {
    fs::remove_file(img.path()).unwrap();
}
