# String globbing in golang [](https://travis-ci.org/ryanuber/go-glob)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`go-glob` is a single-function library implementing basic string glob support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Globs are an extremely user-friendly way of supporting string matching without
|
||
|
|
requiring knowledge of regular expressions or Go's particular regex engine. Most
|
||
|
|
people understand that if you put a `*` character somewhere in a string, it is
|
||
|
|
treated as a wildcard. Surprisingly, this functionality isn't found in Go's
|
||
|
|
standard library, except for `path.Match`, which is intended to be used while
|
||
|
|
comparing paths (not arbitrary strings), and contains specialized logic for this
|
||
|
|
use case. A better solution might be a POSIX basic (non-ERE) regular expression
|
||
|
|
engine for Go, which doesn't exist currently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
package main
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
import "github.com/ryanuber/go-glob"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
func main() {
|
||
|
|
glob.Glob("*World!", "Hello, World!") // true
|
||
|
|
glob.Glob("Hello,*", "Hello, World!") // true
|
||
|
|
glob.Glob("*ello,*", "Hello, World!") // true
|
||
|
|
glob.Glob("World!", "Hello, World!") // false
|
||
|
|
glob.Glob("/home/*", "/home/ryanuber/.bashrc") // true
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
