Method: Maid::Tools#dir

Defined in:
lib/maid/tools.rb

#dir(globs) ⇒ Object

Give all files matching the given glob.

Note that the globs are not regexps (they're closer to shell globs). However, some regexp-like notation can be used, e.g. ?, [a-z], {tgz,zip}. For more details, see Ruby's documentation on Dir.glob.

The matches are sorted lexically to aid in readability when using --dry-run.

Examples

Single glob:

dir('~/Downloads/*.zip')

Specifying multiple extensions succinctly:

dir('~/Downloads/*.{exe,deb,dmg,pkg,rpm}')

Multiple glob (all are equivalent):

dir(['~/Downloads/*.zip', '~/Dropbox/*.zip'])
dir(%w(~/Downloads/*.zip ~/Dropbox/*.zip))
dir('~/{Downloads,Dropbox}/*.zip')

Recursing into subdirectories (see also: find):

dir('~/Music/**/*.m4a')
