= Glob (programming)
{wiki=Glob_(programming)}
Glob, short for "global," refers to a pattern matching technique used in programming and scripting to match file names or paths based on wildcard characters. It is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems and various programming languages for tasks such as file manipulation and retrieval. In Glob patterns, the following wildcard characters are typically utilized: - \`*\`: Matches zero or more characters. For example, \`*.txt\` matches any file with a \`.txt\` extension. - \`?\`: Matches exactly one character.
