* Package name : golang-github-ryanuber-go-glob Version : 1.0.0-1 Upstream Author : Ryan Uber * URL : https://github.com/ryanuber/go-glob * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : Basic string globs in golang Globs are an extremely user-friendly way of supporting string matching without requiring knowledge of regular expressions or Go's particular regex engine. Most people understand that if you put a * character somewhere in a string, it is treated as a wildcard. Surprisingly, this functionality isn't found in Go's standard library, except for path.Match, which is intended to be used while comparing paths (not arbitrary strings), and contains specialized logic for this use case. A better solution might be a POSIX basic (non-ERE) regular expression engine for Go, which doesn't exist currently. Example ``` package main This package is in the dependency tree of another upcoming "gopasspw" package (#901133).
