PatternIsRecursive

Returns true if a pattern has a double-star part that searches every subfolder.

Syntax

PatternIsRecursive( pattern )

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

'' ** means "this directory and everything under it"
print PatternIsRecursive( "src\**\*.bas" )        '' true
print PatternIsRecursive( "src\*.bas" )           '' false

'' Worth testing before a Glob, because a recursive pattern can walk an
'' arbitrarily large tree
