--- !ruby/object:RI::MethodDescription aliases: [] block_params: comment: - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: "Returns true if <em>path</em> matches against <em>pattern</em> The pattern is not a regular expression; instead it follows rules similar to shell filename globbing. It may contain the following metacharacters:" - !ruby/object:SM::Flow::LIST contents: - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::LI label: "<code>*</code>:" body: Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob. <tt>*</tt> will match all files; <tt>c*</tt> will match all files beginning with <tt>c</tt>; <tt>*c</tt> will match all files ending with <tt>c</tt>; and <b><tt>c</tt></b> will match all files that have <tt>c</tt> in them (including at the beginning or end). Equivalent to <tt>/ .* /x</tt> in regexp. - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::LI label: "<code>**</code>:" body: Matches directories recursively or files expansively. - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::LI label: "<code>?</code>:" body: Matches any one character. Equivalent to <tt>/.{1}/</tt> in regexp. - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::LI label: "<code>[set]</code>:" body: Matches any one character in <tt>set</tt>.
