Pattern matching reference
Bamboo supports a powerful type of regular expression for matching files and directories (as with pattern matching in Apache Ant).
These expressions use the following wildcards:
| ? | Matches one character (any character except path separators) |
| * | Matches zero or more characters (not including path separators) |
| ** | Matches zero or more path segments. |
Remember that Ant globs match paths, not just simple filenames.
- If the pattern does not start with a path separator i.e. / or \, then the pattern is considered to start with
/**/. - If the pattern ends with
/then**is automatically appended. - A pattern can contain any number of wild cards.
Also see the Ant documentation.
Examples
| *.txt | Matches /foo.txt and /bar.txt but not /foo.txt or /bar.txt |
| /*.txt | Matches /foo.txt but not /bar/foo.txt |
| dir1/file.txt | Matches /dir1/file.txt, /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt |
| **/dir1/file.txt | Matches /dir1/file.txt, /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt |
| /**/dir1/file.txt | Matches /dir1/file.txt, /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt |
| /dir3/**/dir1/file.txt | Matches /dir3/dir1/file.txt and /dir3/dir2/dir1/file.txt but not /dir3/file.txt,/dir1/file.txt |
| /dir1/** | Matches all files under /dir1/ |
