Word
Glob
Meaning/Definition
In computing, glob (short for global) refers to a pattern-matching technique used to specify sets of filenames or paths using wildcard characters.
It’s most common in Unix-like shells (e.g., Bash, Zsh) and many programming languages. Instead of listing each file explicitly, you can use a glob pattern to match multiple files at once.
Common Glob Patterns:
*→ matches zero or more characters*.txtmatches all files ending in.txt.?→ matches exactly one characterfile?.csvmatchesfile1.csv,fileA.csv, but notfile10.csv.[ ]→ matches any one character from inside the bracketsfile[0-9].logmatchesfile1.logtofile9.log.{ }→ matches a comma-separated list of options (in some shells/languages)*.{jpg,png}matches all.jpgand.pngfiles.
