  scripts/*/*	All files in 'scripts/' or one level of subdirectory under 'scripts/'.
  images*/*	All files in a folder with name that is or begins with 'images'.

• Arbitrary directory depth (/**/).

  **/*	All files in any subdirectory.
  dir/**/*	All files in any subdirectory under 'dir/'.
  dir/	All files in any subdirectory under 'dir/'.

• Relative paths.

  Value	Description

Constructors

Matcher()	Initializes an instance of Matcher using case-insensitive matching.
Matcher(StringComparison)	Initializes an instance of Matcher using the specified string comparison method.

Methods

AddExclude(String)	Add a file name pattern for files the matcher should exclude from the results. Patterns are relative to the root directory given when Execute(DirectoryInfoBase) is called. Use the forward slash '/' to represent directory separator. Use '*' to represent wildcards in file and directory names. Use '**' to represent arbitrary directory depth. Use '..' to represent a parent directory.
AddInclude(String)	Add a file name pattern that the matcher should use to discover files. Patterns are relative to the root directory given when Execute(DirectoryInfoBase) is called. Use the forward slash '/' to represent directory separator. Use '*' to represent wildcards in file and directory names. Use '**' to represent arbitrary directory depth. Use '..' to represent a parent directory.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Execute(DirectoryInfoBase)	Searches the directory specified for all files matching patterns added to this instance of Matcher.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Extension Methods

AddExcludePatterns(Matcher, IEnumerable<String>[])	Adds multiple exclude patterns to Matcher.
AddIncludePatterns(Matcher, IEnumerable<String>[])	Adds multiple patterns to include in Matcher.
GetResultsInFullPath(Matcher, String)	Searches the specified directory for all files matching patterns added to this instance of Matcher.
Match(Matcher, IEnumerable<String>)	Matches the files passed in with the patterns in the matcher without going to disk.
Match(Matcher, String, IEnumerable<String>)	Matches the files passed in with the patterns in the matcher without going to disk.
Match(Matcher, String, String)	Matches the file passed in with the patterns in the matcher without going to disk.
Match(Matcher, String)	Matches the file passed in with the patterns in the matcher without going to disk.
