patern match in filenames (without reading content)

[QAscoop]

The pattern matching works very well with "dir.readFiles()" but couldn't figure it out for dir.files(). The exclude and include examples do not seem to be supporting glob-like matching or regex. Here is a sample to illustrate the issue:

dir.files(myDir, { match: /pattern/ }, function(err, files) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("files)
  });

When executed, this throws a callback error:

node_modules/node-dir/lib/paths.js:25
            callback(null, results);
            ^

TypeError: callback is not a function

I hit this same error today, but it's nothing to do with pattern matching - dir.files just doesn't accept an object as the second argument. I was trying with:

var files = dir.files(__dirname, { sync: true });

.. and it fails in exactly the same place, because the signature for files is expecting something different. Looking at the code this is a problem in v0.1.16 which is the most recent version published to npm, but looks fixed in v0.1.17 which is in this repo, but not on npm.

I had the same issue today. I manually copied the content of the /lib folder from this repo into the /node_modules/node-dir/lib Now it works fine. Thanks @photonstorm

Latest npm version is 0.1.16 while git latest version is 0.1.17. Please update it to let us use npm install

Any solution for @GroovyQA original question? That is, using regex with files()?

Any update? I'd still very much lilke to have pattern matching without having to read all the files
