Open multiple files at once from the command line using wildcards #80891

Closed clisc closed 5 years ago

clisc commented 5 years ago

I would like to have the ability to open multiple files at once from the command line using wildcards.

I put "code" in my path, so I often open files using the command: code "filename.txt" or a directory using code "folder"

However, sometimes I have a directory with many files in it and I don't want to open them all. Maybe I only want to open two or three.

I often use a command like the one below to identify the files: dir *search*pattern*

Then, however, I have to open the files one at a time.

*My feature request is to be able to run: `code searchpattern` and have VS Code open with all the files that match the given wildcard.**

This would be a huge productivity booster for me. Thanks!
