Crate globwalk

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}")? {
    if let Ok(img) = img {
        fs::remove_file(img.path())?;
    }
}

Tweak walk options

extern crate globwalk;

use std::fs;

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

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/*"],
    )?
    .into_iter()
    .filter_map(Result::ok);

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