| 12 | ## Example
|
---|
| 13 |
|
---|
| 14 | ```js
|
---|
| 15 | var expand = require('brace-expansion');
|
---|
| 16 |
|
---|
| 17 | expand('file-{a,b,c}.jpg')
|
---|
| 18 | // => ['file-a.jpg', 'file-b.jpg', 'file-c.jpg']
|
---|
| 19 |
|
---|
| 20 | expand('-v{,,}')
|
---|
| 21 | // => ['-v', '-v', '-v']
|
---|
| 22 |
|
---|
| 23 | expand('file{0..2}.jpg')
|
---|
| 24 | // => ['file0.jpg', 'file1.jpg', 'file2.jpg']
|
---|
| 25 |
|
---|
| 26 | expand('file-{a..c}.jpg')
|
---|
| 27 | // => ['file-a.jpg', 'file-b.jpg', 'file-c.jpg']
|
---|
| 28 |
|
---|
| 29 | expand('file{2..0}.jpg')
|
---|
| 30 | // => ['file2.jpg', 'file1.jpg', 'file0.jpg']
|
---|
| 31 |
|
---|
| 32 | expand('file{0..4..2}.jpg')
|
---|
| 33 | // => ['file0.jpg', 'file2.jpg', 'file4.jpg']
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 | expand('file-{a..e..2}.jpg')
|
---|
| 36 | // => ['file-a.jpg', 'file-c.jpg', 'file-e.jpg']
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
| 38 | expand('file{00..10..5}.jpg')
|
---|
| 39 | // => ['file00.jpg', 'file05.jpg', 'file10.jpg']
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
| 41 | expand('{{A..C},{a..c}}')
|
---|
| 42 | // => ['A', 'B', 'C', 'a', 'b', 'c']
|
---|
| 43 |
|
---|
| 44 | expand('ppp{,config,oe{,conf}}')
|
---|
| 45 | // => ['ppp', 'pppconfig', 'pppoe', 'pppoeconf']
|
---|
| 46 | ```
|
---|

|
---|
| 48 | ## API
|
---|
| 49 |
|
---|
| 50 | ```js
|
---|
| 51 | var expand = require('brace-expansion');
|
---|
| 52 | ```
|
---|
| 53 |
|
---|
| 54 | ### var expanded = expand(str)
|
---|
| 55 |
|
---|
| 56 | Return an array of all possible and valid expansions of `str`. If none are
|
---|
| 57 | found, `[str]` is returned.
|
---|
| 58 |
|
---|
| 59 | Valid expansions are:
|
---|
| 60 |
|
---|
| 61 | ```js
|
---|
| 62 | /^(.*,)+(.+)?$/
|
---|
| 63 | // {a,b,...}
|
---|
| 64 | ```
|
---|
| 65 |
|
---|
| 66 | A comma separated list of options, like `{a,b}` or `{a,{b,c}}` or `{,a,}`.
|
---|
| 67 |
|
---|
| 68 | ```js
|
---|
| 69 | /^-?\d+\.\.-?\d+(\.\.-?\d+)?$/
|
---|
| 70 | // {x..y[..incr]}
|
---|
| 71 | ```
|
---|
| 72 |
|
---|
| 73 | A numeric sequence from `x` to `y` inclusive, with optional increment.
|
---|
| 74 | If `x` or `y` start with a leading `0`, all the numbers will be padded
|
---|
| 75 | to have equal length. Negative numbers and backwards iteration work too.
|
---|
| 76 |
|
---|
| 77 | ```js
|
---|
| 78 | /^-?\d+\.\.-?\d+(\.\.-?\d+)?$/
|
---|
| 79 | // {x..y[..incr]}
|
---|
| 80 | ```
|
---|
| 81 |
|
---|
| 82 | An alphabetic sequence from `x` to `y` inclusive, with optional increment.
|
---|
| 83 | `x` and `y` must be exactly one character, and if given, `incr` must be a
|
---|
| 84 | number.
|
---|
| 85 |
|
---|
| 86 | For compatibility reasons, the string `${` is not eligible for brace expansion.
