Hi Caolan,
thanks for the egg, much needed addition (though I would like to see
it in the posix module rather than a separate egg). I used to
workaround (the lack of) it through ##sys#glob->regexp which is
another function I would like to be explicitly supported in core.
A few suggestions if you care:
1) Return the actual path rather than #t
(filter
string?
(map (lambda (x)
(fnmatch "[^b].scm" x)) '("a.scm" "b.scm" "c.scm")))
=> ("a.scm" "c.scm")
2) Add Windows support through the very similar win32 function PathMatchSpecEx
3) Drop the utf8 requirement
Regards,
Michele
