Function is_glob 

Source 
pub fn is_glob(path: &str) -> bool
Expand description

Determines if a given path string contains unescaped glob pattern characters.

§Parameters :

  • path : A reference to a string slice ( &str ) representing the path to be checked.

§Returns :

  • bool : Returns true if the path contains unescaped glob pattern characters ( *, ?, [, { ), otherwise false. The function takes into account escape sequences, and only considers glob characters outside of escape sequences.

§Behavior :

  • The function handles escaped characters ( \ ) and identifies unescaped glob characters and sequences.
  • It correctly interprets nested and escaped brackets ( [, ] ) and braces ( {, } ).

§Examples :

use pth ::path;

assert_eq!( path ::is_glob( "file.txt" ), false ); // No glob patterns
assert_eq!( path ::is_glob( "*.txt" ), true ); // Contains unescaped glob character *
assert_eq!( path ::is_glob( "\\*.txt" ), false ); // Escaped *, not a glob pattern
assert_eq!( path ::is_glob( "file[0-9].txt" ), true ); // Unescaped brackets indicate a glob pattern
assert_eq!( path ::is_glob( "file\\[0-9].txt" ), false ); // Escaped brackets, not a glob pattern
