Please add an option for "?" to also match "/"
I'd like to use fnmatch-regex with strings other than filenames, but the problem is that the "?" character gets translated to the regex "[^/]", which is fine for filenames, but not good for other strings.
It would be great to add a second function, like glob_to_regex_with(pattern: &str, options: &GlobOptions)
While we're at it, GlobOptions could include an option to not match the whole string (again useful if not dealing with path names), and an option to disable the {a,bbb,cc}
alternation:
struct GlobOptions {
pub match_slash: bool,
pub match_whole_string: bool,
pub enable_alternation: bool,
}
so if the match_slash
option is set to true
, then "?" could be translated as ".";
if the match_whole_string
option is set to false
, the regex will not begin with ^
and end with $
;
and if the enable_alternation
option is set to false
, then {a,bb,ccc}
will not be treated as an alternation (glob usually consists only of "?", "*", and character classes).
