Feature request expose what "pattern" is passed to getPathMatcher (glob function)

[benjamin-asdf]

I found myself wanting to put "regex" pattern instead of "glob".
Cheers.

@benjamin-asdf Is your use case to pass "regex:foo" or pass a #"foo" object? Can you give some examples of how you would like to use things?

[benjamin-asdf]

@borkdude I guess a function like fs/match and there I can pass a string like "regex:foo", or any other according to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/FileSystem.html#getPathMatcher(java.lang.String).
And fs/glob is then a wrapper like

(defn glob [patt]
  (match (str "glob:" patt)))

pros:

• open to additions in pathMatcher
• obvious usage from reading getPathMatcher doc

example

(fs/match
 "dir"
 "regex:.*/subdir/.*\\.json")

(fs/match
 "dir"
 "glob:*.json")

;still works
(fs/glob
 "dir"
 "*.json")

@benjamin-asdf I added this exactly like you described it.

@benjamin-asdf Worth mentioning that you can use this library from source in babashka if you add it to your deps and load it with :reload:

$ bb -cp src -e "(ns foo (:require [babashka.fs :as fs] :reload))" -e '(fs/match "." "regex:README.*")'
[#object[sun.nio.fs.UnixPath 0x1256d66e "README.md"]]
