Path pattern matching and globbing supporting doublestar (**) patterns.
doublestar is a golang implementation of path pattern matching and globbing with support for “doublestar” (aka globstar: **) patterns.
doublestar patterns match files and directories recursively. For example, if you had the following directory structure:
grandparent `-- parent |-- child1 `-- child2
You could find the children with patterns such as: **/child*, grandparent/**/child?, **/parent/*, or even just ** by itself (which will return all files and directories recursively).
Bash‘s globstar is doublestar’s inspiration and, as such, works similarly. Note that the doublestar must appear as a path component by itself. A pattern such as /path** is invalid and will be treated the same as /path*, but /path*/** should achieve the desired result. Additionally, /path/** will match all directories and files under the path directory, but /path/**/ will only match directories.
v4 is a complete rewrite with a focus on performance. Additionally, doublestar has been updated to use the new io/fs package for filesystem access. As a result, it is only supported by golang v1.16+.
doublestar can be installed via go get:
go get github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar/v4
To use it in your code, you must import it:
import "github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar/v4"
doublestar.ErrBadPattern
Returned by various functions to report that the pattern is malformed. At the moment, this value is equal to path.ErrBadPattern, but, for portability, this equivalence should probably not be relied upon.
func Match(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
Match returns true if name matches the file name pattern (see “patterns”). name and pattern are split on forward slash (/) characters and may be relative or absolute.
Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring. The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern is malformed.
Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for path.Match() which always uses '/' as the path separator. If you want to support systems which use a different path separator (such as Windows), what you want is PathMatch(). Alternatively, you can run filepath.ToSlash() on both pattern and name and then use this function.
Note: users should not count on the returned error, doublestar.ErrBadPattern, being equal to path.ErrBadPattern.
func PathMatch(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
PathMatch returns true if name matches the file name pattern (see “patterns”). The difference between Match and PathMatch is that PathMatch will automatically use your system's path separator to split name and pattern. On systems where the path separator is '\', escaping will be disabled.
Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for filepath.Match(). It assumes that both pattern and name are using the system‘s path separator. If you can’t be sure of that, use filepath.ToSlash() on both pattern and name, and then use the Match() function instead.
Options that may be passed to Glob, GlobWalk, or FilepathGlob. Any number of options may be passed to these functions, and in any order, as the last argument(s).
WithFailOnIOErrors()
If passed, it enables aborting and returning the error when an IO error is encountered.
func Glob(fsys fs.FS, pattern string, opts ...GlobOption) ([]string, error)
Glob returns the names of all files matching pattern or nil if there is no matching file. The syntax of patterns is the same as in Match(). The pattern may describe hierarchical names such as usr/*/bin/ed.
Glob ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories by default. The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, reporting that the pattern is malformed.
To enable aborting on I/O errors, the WithFailOnIOErrors option can be passed.
Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for io/fs.Glob(). Like io/fs.Glob(), this function assumes that your pattern uses / as the path separator even if that‘s not correct for your OS (like Windows). If you aren’t sure if that's the case, you can use filepath.ToSlash() on your pattern before calling Glob().
Like io/fs.Glob(), patterns containing /./, /../, or starting with / will return no results and no errors. This seems to be a conscious decision, even if counter-intuitive. You can use SplitPattern to divide a pattern into a base path (to initialize an FS object) and pattern.
Note: users should not count on the returned error, doublestar.ErrBadPattern, being equal to path.ErrBadPattern.
type GlobWalkFunc func(path string, d fs.DirEntry) error
func GlobWalk(fsys fs.FS, pattern string, fn GlobWalkFunc) error
GlobWalk calls the callback function fn for every file matching pattern. The syntax of pattern is the same as in Match() and the behavior is the same as Glob(), with regard to limitations (such as patterns containing /./, /../, or starting with /). The pattern may describe hierarchical names such as usr/*/bin/ed.
GlobWalk may have a small performance benefit over Glob if you do not need a slice of matches because it can avoid allocating memory for the matches. Additionally, GlobWalk gives you access to the fs.DirEntry objects for each match, and lets you quit early by returning a non-nil error from your callback function. Like io/fs.WalkDir, if your callback returns SkipDir, GlobWalk will skip the current directory. This means that if the current path is a directory, GlobWalk will not recurse into it. If the current path is not a directory, the rest of the parent directory will be skipped.
GlobWalk ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories by default. GlobWalk may return ErrBadPattern, reporting that the pattern is malformed.
To enable aborting on I/O errors, the WithFailOnIOErrors option can be passed.
Additionally, if the callback function fn returns an error, GlobWalk will exit immediately and return that error.
Like Glob(), this function assumes that your pattern uses / as the path separator even if that‘s not correct for your OS (like Windows). If you aren’t sure if that's the case, you can use filepath.ToSlash() on your pattern before calling GlobWalk().
Note: users should not count on the returned error, doublestar.ErrBadPattern, being equal to path.ErrBadPattern.
func FilepathGlob(pattern string) (matches []string, err error)
FilepathGlob returns the names of all files matching pattern or nil if there is no matching file. The syntax of pattern is the same as in Match(). The pattern may describe hierarchical names such as usr/*/bin/ed.
FilepathGlob ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories by default. The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, reporting that the pattern is malformed.
To enable aborting on I/O errors, the WithFailOnIOErrors option can be passed.
Note: FilepathGlob is a convenience function that is meant as a drop-in replacement for path/filepath.Glob() for users who don't need the complication of io/fs. Basically, it:
filepath.Clean() and ToSlash() on the patternSplitPattern() to get a base path and a pattern to GlobGlob()s on the patternGlob()Returned paths will use the system's path separator, just like filepath.Glob().
Note: the returned error doublestar.ErrBadPattern is not equal to filepath.ErrBadPattern.
func SplitPattern(p string) (base, pattern string)
SplitPattern is a utility function. Given a pattern, SplitPattern will return two strings: the first string is everything up to the last slash (/) that appears before any unescaped “meta” characters (ie, *?[{). The second string is everything after that slash. For example, given the pattern:
../../path/to/meta*/**
^----------- split here
SplitPattern returns “../../path/to” and “meta*/**”. This is useful for initializing os.DirFS() to call Glob() because Glob() will silently fail if your pattern includes /./ or /../. For example:
base, pattern := SplitPattern("../../path/to/meta*/**")
fsys := os.DirFS(base)
matches, err := Glob(fsys, pattern)
If SplitPattern cannot find somewhere to split the pattern (for example, meta*/**), it will return “.” and the unaltered pattern (meta*/** in this example).
Of course, it is your responsibility to decide if the returned base path is “safe” in the context of your application. Perhaps you could use Match() to validate against a list of approved base directories?
func ValidatePattern(s string) bool
Validate a pattern. Patterns are validated while they run in Match(), PathMatch(), and Glob(), so, you normally wouldn‘t need to call this. However, there are cases where this might be useful: for example, if your program allows a user to enter a pattern that you’ll run at a later time, you might want to validate it.
ValidatePattern assumes your pattern uses ‘/’ as the path separator.
func ValidatePathPattern(s string) bool
Like ValidatePattern, only uses your OS path separator. In other words, use ValidatePattern if you would normally use Match() or Glob(). Use ValidatePathPattern if you would normally use PathMatch(). Keep in mind, Glob() requires ‘/’ separators, even if your OS uses something else.
doublestar supports the following special terms in the patterns:
| Special Terms | Meaning |
|---|---|
* | matches any sequence of non-path-separators |
/**/ | matches zero or more directories |
? | matches any single non-path-separator character |
[class] | matches any single non-path-separator character against a class of characters (see “character classes”) |
{alt1,...} | matches a sequence of characters if one of the comma-separated alternatives matches |
Any character with a special meaning can be escaped with a backslash (\).
A doublestar (**) should appear surrounded by path separators such as /**/. A mid-pattern doublestar (**) behaves like bash‘s globstar option: a pattern such as path/to/**.txt would return the same results as path/to/*.txt. The pattern you’re looking for is path/to/**/*.txt.
Character classes support the following:
| Class | Meaning |
|---|---|
[abc] | matches any single character within the set |
[a-z] | matches any single character in the range |
[^class] | matches any single character which does not match the class |
[!class] | same as ^: negates the class |

These benchmarks (in doublestar_test.go) compare Match() to path.Match(), PathMath() to filepath.Match(), and Glob() + GlobWalk() to io/fs.Glob(). They only run patterns that the standard go packages can understand as well (so, no {alts} or **) for a fair comparison. Of course, alts and doublestars will be less performant than the other pattern meta characters.
Alts are essentially like running multiple patterns, the number of which can get large if your pattern has alts nested inside alts. This affects both matching (ie, Match()) and globbing (Glob()).
** performance in matching is actually pretty similar to a regular *, but can cause a large number of reads when globbing as it will need to recursively traverse your filesystem.
I started this project in 2014 in my spare time and have been maintaining it ever since. In that time, it has grown into one of the most popular globbing libraries in the Go ecosystem. So, if doublestar is a useful library in your project, consider sponsoring my work! I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks for sponsoring me!
