Issue #5422 has been updated by Suraj Kurapati. I suppose this issue could be filed as a feature request since nobody else has complained about it yet. Sorry for the wrong categorization. Thanks. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5422: File.fnmatch != Dir.glob # {no,sets} http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5422 Author: Suraj Kurapati Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: core Target version: 1.9.x ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-linux] 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. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
