Elm Glob

A module for glob/fn-match based string matching. Patterns are parsed and converted to regexes and matched using the core Regex library.

Features

Syntax

• * - matches everything
• ? - matches any single character
• [set] - matches any character in the set
• [!set] - matches any character not in the set

The set syntax also supports ranges. eg. a-z, 0-6, etc. Only ASCII letters & numbers as I'm unclear on how to properly support other locales.

Options

Available with the defaultOptions record which has the Options type.

• enableAsterisk (default: True) Can be used to disable the handling of '*'

• enableQuestionMark (default: True) Can be used to disable the handling of '?'

• enableBrackets (default: True) Can be used to disable the handling of characters sets that use '[]'

Available as an independent function:

• Glob.caseInsenstive Sets 'caseInsenstive' on the underlying Regex.
