Patterns look very much like the patterns used in DOS and
UNIX:
'*' matches zero or more characters, '?' matches one character.
In general, patterns are considered relative paths, relative to the
Hudson workspace. Only files found below that base directory are
considered. So while a pattern like
../foo.java
is possible, it will not match anything when applied since the base
directory's parent is never scanned for files.
Examples:
*.java
matches
.java
,
x.java
and
FooBar.java
, but not
FooBar.xml
(does not end with
.java
).
?.java
matches
x.java
,
A.java
, but not
.java
or
xyz.java
(both don't have one character before
.java
).
Combinations of
*
's and
?
's are allowed.
Matching is done per-directory. This means that first the first
directory in the pattern is matched against the first directory in
the path to match. Then the second directory is matched, and so on.
For example, when we have the pattern
/?abc/*/*.java
and the path
/xabc/foobar/test.java
, the first
?abc
is matched with
xabc
, then
*
is matched with
foobar
, and finally
*.java
is matched with
test.java
. They all match, so the path matches the pattern.
To make things a bit more flexible, we add one extra feature, which
makes it possible to match multiple directory levels. This can be
used to match a complete directory tree, or a file anywhere in the
directory tree. To do this,
**
must be used as the name of a directory. When
**
is used as the name of a directory in the pattern, it matches zero
or more directories. For example:
/test/**
matches all files/directories under
/test/
, such as
/test/x.java
, or
/test/foo/bar/xyz.html
, but not
/xyz.xml
.
There is one "shorthand": if a pattern ends with
/
or
\
, then
**
is appended. For example,
mypackage/test/
is interpreted as if it were
mypackage/test/**
.
Example patterns:
**/CVS/*Matches all files in CVS
directories that can be located anywhere in the directory tree.
Matches:
CVS/Repository
org/apache/CVS/Entries
org/apache/jakarta/tools/ant/CVS/Entries
But not:
org/apache/CVS/foo/bar/Entries (foo/bar/
part does not match)
org/apache/jakarta/**Matches all files in the org/apache/jakarta
directory tree.
Matches:
org/apache/jakarta/tools/ant/docs/index.html
org/apache/jakarta/test.xml
But not:
org/apache/xyz.java
(jakarta/ part is missing).
org/apache/**/CVS/*Matches all files in CVS
directories that are located anywhere in the directory tree
under org/apache.
Matches:
org/apache/CVS/Entries
org/apache/jakarta/tools/ant/CVS/Entries
But not:
org/apache/CVS/foo/bar/Entries
(foo/bar/ part does not match)
**/test/**Matches all files that have a test
element in their path, including test as a
filename.
