GlobN is a fast file pattern matching library for that outperforms Regex (see benchmarks).
GlobN is available at nuget. PM> Install-Package Acklann.GlobN
bool success = Glob.IsMatch("index.html", "index.*");
/* returns: true */
Glob pattern = "**/*.js";
IEnumerable<string> allJsFilePaths = pattern.ResolvePaths(@"C:\app\scripts\");
/* returns: The paths of all .js files within the current directory and its sub-directories. */
Glob pattern = "../../index.html";
string fullPath = pattern.Expand();
/* returns: The full path of the specified file. */
Glob pattern = "scripts/**/auth/*.ts";
IEnumerable<string> filteredList = pattern.Filter(new string[] { ... }).
/* returns: Only the strings that match the pattern */Supported Expressions
