GlobWalk

A cross platform crate for recursively walking over paths matching a Glob pattern.

Based on both walkdir &️ globset (❤), 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.
• 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:

toml [dependencies] globwalk = "0.1"

Example

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

```rust extern crate globwalk; use globwalk::GlobWalker;

fn searchanddestroy() { for track in GlobWalker::new("*/.{mp3,flac}").unwrap() { if let Ok(track) = track { // Destroy satanic rhythms std::fs::remove_file(track.path()); } } } ```

Example: Tweak walk options

```rust extern crate globwalk; use globwalk::GlobWalker;

fn searchanddestroy() { let walker = GlobWalker::new("*/.{mp3,flac}") .unwrap() .maxdepth(4) .followlinks(true) .intoiter() .filtermap(Result::ok);

for track in walker {
    // Destroy symbolic satanic rhythms, but do not stray far.
    std::fs::remove_file(track.path()); 
}

} ```
