glob4go

A lightweight glob wildcard pattern matching utility for Go, when regex is an overkill

Installation

go get github.com/co89757/glob4go 

Supported Glob feature

The glob syntax is largely similar to UNIX globbing execept for a few unsupported syntax

• * :matches any number of characters
• ? :matches a single character
• [...] :matches a range/group of characters. For example, [0-9] matches any single-digit number, [axz] matches any character in 'a','x','z'
• [^...] :inverse range/group match. The inverse of the above range match case. It matches any character not in the range
• all keywords above can be escaped by \, i.e. \? matches a literal ?

Example

Currently, the API of the pacakge is really simple:

glob4go.Glob(pattern, str []byte, ignoreCase bool) 

Here is an example usage

import (
  "github.com/co89757/glob4go"
)
func globExample(){
  var match bool 
pattern := []byte("abcd[0-9]?")
s1 := []byte("abcd8e")
//case sensitive match
match = glob4go.Glob(pattern,s1,false) // true, it is a match 

s2 := []byte("AbCd8e")
match = glob4go.Glob(pattern, s2, true) // true, it is a match when ignore case 
}

TO-DO

• Performance and benchmarking
• Add unicode support

Functions

func Glob

func Glob(pattern []byte, s []byte, nocase bool) bool

Glob matches a string against a glob wildcard pattern, nocase flag is for case-insensitive match
