Glob Pattern

A text pattern that uses wildcard characters to match filenames or text strings. Glob patterns are commonly used for file matching in command-line interfaces, path specifications in configuration files, and pattern matching in programming languages. Some examples of glob pattern characters are:

  • Asterisk (*): Matches any number of characters (including none)

For example, *.txt matches all text files, while file-?.log matches files like file-1.log" or file-a.log.

Note

LogScale supports only the asterisk (*) glob pattern character, for example in query filters and as a pattern parameter. Question mark, square brackets, and curly braces are not supported.

To perform searches that support this, make use of regular expressions to perom a similar search.
