Как реализовать glob на C#

    /// <summary>
    /// return a list of files that matches some wildcard pattern, e.g. 
    /// C:\p4\software\dotnet\tools\*\*.sln to get all tool solution files
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name = "glob">pattern to match</param>
    /// <returns>all matching paths</returns>
    public static IEnumerable<string> Glob(string glob)
    {
        foreach (string path in Glob(PathHead(glob) + DirSep, PathTail(glob)))
            yield return path;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// uses 'head' and 'tail' -- 'head' has already been pattern-expanded
    /// and 'tail' has not.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name = "head">wildcard-expanded</param>
    /// <param name = "tail">not yet wildcard-expanded</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static IEnumerable<string> Glob(string head, string tail)
    {
        if (PathTail(tail) == tail)
            foreach (string path in Directory.GetFiles(head, tail).OrderBy(s => s))
                yield return path;
        else
            foreach (string dir in Directory.GetDirectories(head, PathHead(tail)).OrderBy(s => s))
                foreach (string path in Glob(Path.Combine(head, dir), PathTail(tail)))
                    yield return path;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// shortcut
    /// </summary>
    static char DirSep = Path.DirectorySeparatorChar;

    /// <summary>
    /// return the first element of a file path
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name = "path">file path</param>
    /// <returns>first logical unit</returns>
    static string PathHead(string path)
    {
        // handle case of \\share\vol\foo\bar -- return \\share\vol as 'head'
        // because the dir stuff won't let you interrogate a server for its share list
        // FIXME check behavior on Linux to see if this blows up -- I don't think so
        if (path.StartsWith("" + DirSep + DirSep))
            return path.Substring(0, 2) + path.Substring(2).Split(DirSep)[0] + DirSep + path.Substring(2).Split(DirSep)[1];

        return path.Split(DirSep)[0];
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// return everything but the first element of a file path
    /// e.g. PathTail("C:\TEMP\foo.txt") = "TEMP\foo.txt"
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name = "path">file path</param>
    /// <returns>all but the first logical unit</returns>
    static string PathTail(string path)
    {
        if (!path.Contains(DirSep))
            return path;

        return path.Substring(1 + PathHead(path).Length);
    }

Я наткнулся на источник железного рубина, который содержит довольно аккуратный класс Glob. Его довольно легко извлечь из связанного кода.

Вы можете использовать командлет PowerShell "dir" (он же "Get-ChildItem") из C# .
(Я не говорю, следует ли вам.)

Вы должны добавить эту ссылку в файл вашего проекта (".csproj "или".vcproj") вручную:

<Reference Include = "System.Management.Automation" />

Подробнее о том, как использовать командлеты из C#, см. Здесь: http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/42716

Вот рабочая программа:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

namespace CsWildcard {
    class Program {

        static IEnumerable<string> CmdletDirGlobbing(string basePath, string glob){
            Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
            runspace.Open();

            // cd to basePath
            if (basePath != null){
                Pipeline cdPipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
                Command cdCommand = new Command("cd");
                cdCommand.Parameters.Add("Path", basePath);
                cdPipeline.Commands.Add(cdCommand);
                cdPipeline.Invoke(); // run the cmdlet
            }

            // run the "dir" cmdlet (e.g. "dir C:\*\*\*.txt" )
            Pipeline dirPipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
            Command dirCommand = new Command("dir");
            dirCommand.Parameters.Add("Path", glob);
            dirPipeline.Commands.Add(dirCommand);

            Collection<PSObject> dirOutput = dirPipeline.Invoke();

            // for each found file
            foreach (PSObject psObject in dirOutput) {

                PSMemberInfoCollection<PSPropertyInfo> a = psObject.Properties;
                // look for the full path ("FullName")
                foreach (PSPropertyInfo psPropertyInfo in psObject.Properties) {
                    if (psPropertyInfo.Name == "FullName") {
                        yield return psPropertyInfo.Value.ToString(); // yield it
                    }
                }
            }

        }

        static void Main(string[] args) {
            foreach(string path in CmdletDirGlobbing(null,"C:\\*\\*\\*.txt")){
                System.Console.WriteLine(path);
            }
            foreach (string path in CmdletDirGlobbing("C:\\", "*\\*\\*.exe")) {
                System.Console.WriteLine(path);
            }   
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

    }
}

это легко с https://github.com/dazinator/DotNet.Glob:

пример:

public static class Glob
{
  public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> Exec(DirectoryInfo dir, string glob)
  {
    var matcher = DotNet.Globbing.Glob.Parse(glob);
    return dir.EnumerateAllFiles().Where(f => matcher.IsMatch(f.FullName));
  }

  public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> EnumerateAllFiles(this DirectoryInfo dir)
  {
    foreach (var f in dir.EnumerateFiles())
    {
      yield return f;
    }

    foreach (var sub in dir.EnumerateDirectories())
    {
      foreach (var f in EnumerateAllFiles(sub))
      {
        yield return f;
      }
    }
  }
}
