Subject: [ruby-core:40250] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5422] File.fnmatch != Dir.glob # {no,sets}


Issue #5422 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer.


I have. Obviously it's not earth shattering, but it really SHOULD be the same, so that glob functionality can be exactly emulated within code on arrays of strings. I've had need of this a couple of times.

Hello,

The File.fnmatch methods do not support Dir.glob's set notation:

>> Dir.glob '{.g,t}*'
=> [".gem", "test"]
>> File.fnmatch? '{.g,t}*', 'test'
=> false
>> File.fnmatch? '{.g,t}*', '.gem'
=> false

Please add set notation to fnmatch() and make it equal to glob().

Thanks for your consideration.
