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.
