I want to process all files and subdirectories in a given directory and match them with ignore file. For example, My project is located in: D:\project The ignore file is located in D:\project\.ignore and contains *.txt I am trying to pass a system wide file path or directory to check if they match or not. like c:\myfile.txt All files and directories are not matched if the basepath is not the same. Is it even possible to do something like this?

this is perfectly possible - You can read your file D:\project\.ignore and add each rule line by line by function add_rule with a new base_path
