globbing function

[fnaj77]

Hi to all,
is there a nix-like pathname pattern expansion function to filter the array returned by os/dir?
I mean something that finds and returns all the pathnames matching a specified pattern according to the rules normally used in a linux shell (i.e. ".txt" to select only those files with "txt" extension).

os/dir accepts only a directory path and and I can't find anything like this in spork.

Thank you for the amazing job!

I don't know of a built-in option.

Don't know if it would be helpful for your use case, but IIUC there is a glob function in @andrewchambers' janet-sh: https://github.com/andrewchambers/janet-sh/blob/599495ba4099f1aa6ddea67d1102f514f15237cd/_sh.c#L46-L52

I also wrote a peg based glob, it is probably missing some functionality, but might be a good thing to look at: https://github.com/andrewchambers/janet-glob

Thank you for your replies @sogaiu and @andrewchambers.
I'll definitely take a look at @andrewchambers' glob implementation.

I just found that the janet-glob does not have project.janet file, so I cannot add it to pkgs. May I ask you @andrewchambers to add one, as I think it is a great addition.
