[Bug]: Read Directory node: glob and exclude don't work on windows

[mindplay-dk]

What happened?

In the Read Directory node, filter glob and excludes don't seem to work properly on Windows?

For example, if I enter **/*.php into filter glob, and **/vendor/**/* into excludes, the result includes everything from the vendor folder just the same.

I also tried using filter globs without excludes, instead using filter globs such as **/app/**/*.php - the produces no results.

I suspect maybe the backslashes in Windows paths is throwing off whatever implements glob support?

What was the expected functionality?

Filter and exclude globs should work.

Have you tried using backslashes \ instead of forward slashes /? I don't get any files found when using / on Windows, but I do with \ (which is the path separator on Windows)

Yes, I am doing that as a workaround.

I was intentionally doing it wrong here, just to demonstrate that it doesn't work cross-platform - a Linux person would have written it the way I did here, and then it wouldn't have worked on my Windows system.

You could of course type out [\\/] for every directory separator to make it cross-platform - but cross-platform portability shouldn't be a problem every individual project needs to consider and solve.
