recurse into subdirs

[ghost]

Is possible to add a flag to let glob look into subdirs recursively?

I'm not sure what you mean. The job of this package is to implement glob, and already handles recursive matching in subdirectories with */*/basename.

If you instead wanted find examples -not -type d -path "*/patt*rn" behavior instead, here's the implementation:

let l = String[], pat = Glob.FilenameMatch("*/patt*rn"), topdir = "examples"
    foreach(walkdir(topdir)) do v
       foreach(v[3]) do basename
            path = joinpath(v[1], basename)
            Sys.iswindows() && (path = replace(path, '\\', '/'))
            ismatch(pat, path) && push!(l, path)
        end
    end
    l
end

Note that you could make the ismatch behavior more complex to implement any of the other flags of find, such as by calling ismatch on the basename to implement -name

Thanks, find <path> -name <pattern> is what I was looking for. Can it be made a part of Glob? Would be quite useful for people writing cross-platform code.

I'm using the following:

rglob(pat, topdir) = Base.Iterators.flatten(map(d -> glob(pat, d[1]), walkdir(topdir)))

Might be nice to have an overloaded method of walkdir for a Glob pattern, as discussed https://discourse.julialang.org/t/rdir-search-recursive-for-files-with-a-given-name-pattern/75605/12?u=stevengj
