# GlobWalk #
[](https://docs.rs/globwalk/)
[](https://crates.io/crates/globwalk)
Recursively find files in a directory using globs.
This crate is now in a perpetual maintnance mode and new users should probably cosider using [`glob`](https://crates.io/crates/glob/).
### Comparison to the `glob` crate ###
This crate was origially written years ago, when [`glob`](https://crates.io/crates/glob/) was a very differet crate,
before it was adopted by the rust-lang org.
Nowadays `glob` is much better, and overall better maintained,
but there are a few features that it does not seem to have (based on [glob 0.3.1](https://docs.rs/glob/0.3.1/src/glob/lib.rs.html#466)):
- The `glob` crate does not support having `{a,b}` in patterns.
- `globwalk` can match several glob-patterns at the same time.
- `globwalk` supports excluding results with `!`. (negative patterns)
- `glob` searches for files in the current working directory, whereas `globwalk` starts at a specified base-dir.
### Usage ###
To use this crate, add `globwalk` as a dependency to your project's `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
globwalk = "0.9.1"
```
The following piece of code recursively find all `png`, `jpg`, or `gif` files:
```rust
extern crate globwalk;
use std::fs;
for img in globwalk::glob("*.{png,jpg,gif}").unwrap() {
if let Ok(img) = img {
println!("{:?}", img.path());
}
}
```
See the [documentation](https://docs.rs/globwalk/) for more details.
