DESCRIPTION
This document describes the regular expressions (or globbing
patterns) used in filename globbing with scp2 and sftp2 .
PATTERNS
The escape character is a backslash '\'. With this you can
escape meta characters which you'd like to use in their
plain character form.
In the following examples literal `E' and `F' denote any
expression, be it a pattern or character etc.
* Match any string consisting of zero or more characters.
The characters can be any characters apart from slashes
(/). However, the asterisk does not match a string if
the string contains a dot (.) as its first character,
or if the string contains a dot immediately after a
slash. This means that the asterisk cannot be used to
match filenames that have a dot as their first charac-
ter.
if the previous character is a slash (/), or the aster-
isk (*) is used to denote a match at the beginning of a
string, it does match a dot (.).
That is, the `*' functions as is normal in UNIX shell
fileglobs.
? Match any single character except for a slash (/). How-
ever, do not match a dot (.) if located at the begin-
ning of the string, or if the previous character is a
slash (/).
That is, `?' functions as is normal in UNIX shell
fileglobs (at least ZSH, although discarding the dot
may not be a standard procedure).
**/ match any sequence of characters that is either empty,
or ends in a slash. However, the substring `/.' is not
allowed. This mimics ZSH's **/ construct. (Please note
that `**' is equivalent to `*'.)
E# Act as Kleene star, match E zero or more times.
E## Closure, match E one or more times.
( Start a capturing subexpression.
) End a capturing subexpression.
E|F Disjunction, match (inclusively) either E or F. E is
preferred if both match.
[ Start a character set. (see below)
CHARACTER SETS
A character set starts with ``['' and ends at non-escaped
``]'' that is not part of a POSIX character set specifier
and that does not follow immediately after ``[''.
The following characters have a special meaning and need to
be escaped if meant literally:
- (minus sign)
A range operator, except immediately after ``['', where
it loses its special meaning.
^ or !
If immediately after the starting ``['', denotes a com-
plement: the whole character set will be complemented.
Otherwise literal. ``^''.
[:alnum:]
Characters for which `isalnum' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:alpha:]
Characters for which `isalpha' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:cntrl:]
Characters for which `iscntrl' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:digit:]
Characters for which `isdigit' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:graph:]
Characters for which `isgraph' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:lower:]
Characters for which `islower' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:print:]
Characters for which `isprint' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:punct:]
Characters for which `ispunct' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:space:]
Characters for which `isspace' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:upper:]
Characters for which `isupper' returns true (see
ctype.h).
[:xdigit:]
Characters for which `isxdigit' returns true (see
ctype.h).
EXAMPLE
[[:xdigit:]XY] is typically equivalent to
[0123456789ABCDEFabcdefXY] .
