# String globbing in golang [](https://travis-ci.org/ryanuber/go-glob)
`go-glob` is a single-function library implementing basic string glob support.
Globs are an extremely user-friendly way of supporting string matching without
requiring knowledge of regular expressions or Go's particular regex engine. Most
people understand that if you put a `*` character somewhere in a string, it is
treated as a wildcard. Surprisingly, this functionality isn't found in Go's
standard library, except for `path.Match`, which is intended to be used while
comparing paths (not arbitrary strings), and contains specialized logic for this
use case. A better solution might be a POSIX basic (non-ERE) regular expression
engine for Go, which doesn't exist currently.
Example
=======
```
package main
import "github.com/ryanuber/go-glob"
func main() {
glob.Glob("*World!", "Hello, World!") // true
glob.Glob("Hello,*", "Hello, World!") // true
glob.Glob("*ello,*", "Hello, World!") // true
glob.Glob("World!", "Hello, World!") // false
glob.Glob("/home/*", "/home/ryanuber/.bashrc") // true
}
```
