The path is not of a legal form

[NArnott]

When I run this task, using a simple filter **\*.csproj, I get the following error. I've tried different variations of this, but all provide the same error.

Task : RegEx Find & Replace
Description : Find & Replace using Regular Expressions

Search Pattern is **\*.csproj

Exception calling "GetDirectoryName" with "1" argument(s): "The path is not of a legal form."

I was getting the same error. I changed the Search Path to $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\**\*.csproj and it started working for me.

I think it would be good if the author could provide a better example, as looking at the source file here within the comments (lines 1-100) also indicates that some sort of root directory is required.

Thanks!
Minimatch expressions (like double *) are not allowed..
I've updated the example screenshot to reflect that!

Looks good - thank you!

Good news! We now support MINIMATCH patterns in Version 3.0!
