Subject: [ruby-core:40258] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #5422] File.fnmatch != Dir.glob # {no,sets}


Issue #5422 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer.


I see. In that case, adding a new `File.glob_match?` (or maybe just `File.match?`) would be better.

File.expand_brace won't really help here b/c it would be tied to the actual file system. Part of the usefulness of fnmatch? is that it is not.

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.
