Patch Level: 8
Release Status: release
Description:
There should be a glob expression that can expand all non-directories,
similar to the */ that expands all directories.
Possible options for such a glob could be !(*)/, *!(/) and !(*/).
The current behaviour for these globs can be argued to be 'by design', but
perhaps we could extend the pathname expansion code to include support for this
operation.
!(*)/ -- Could be argued to mean: [ Not any file or directory ] that is a
directory. Which obviously is the empty set.
*!(/) and !(*/) -- We currently cannot put slashes in extglobs.
Perhaps the latter two are good candidates for introducing this
functionality.
Repeat-By:
touch a b; mkdir c d
echo "files: " */ @(*)/ @(*/)
echo "directories: " !(*)/ *!(/) !(*/)
Fix:
The proposed solution is to add limited support for slashes in extglob
patterns.
