Implement glob matching in csharp

Glob in CSharp

Glob1 patterns specify sets of fienames with wildcard characters.

This is a glob implementation in CSharp. It heavily dependents on the Glob class defined in Glob.cs, which is the Glob implemenation of Ruby programming language for .NET Framework.

Usage

var results = Glob.GetMatches(input, 0);

Rules

1. * Matches 0 or more characters of the file name or directory name.
2. ? Matches any single character of the file name or directory name.
3. ** Recursively matches all the current and descendant directories.
4. {} Allows for a comma-separated list of OR expressions.
5. [...] Matches a range of characters, similar to a RegExp range.
