Matching path specifications

[elfring]

Which variant would support to match path specifications which would contain any slashes (or backslashes for example)? 🤔

There is no metasyntax to match paths--I recommend you use a regex for matching lexical patterns like these. For more help on pattern matching, please consider posting questions in the gitter channel

I recommend you use a regex for matching lexical patterns like these.

I know some data processing possibilities also together with regular expressions.

But the reference documentation is providing the following hint so far:
“… Avoid regular expressions that match special syntax like ) or .*, otherwise your pattern may fail to match balanced blocks. …”

Do we stumble on a target conflict for desirable software functionality? 🤔
