glob like syntax for files

[projetmbc]

Hello.

It could be very useful to have the possibility to work with the glob syntax for the value of sequence.

What do you think about this?

Thanks for your suggestion. It would be great to support the glob-like syntax where it would be beneficial.

But are you sure you want to use the glob-like syntax in the sequence value? I can imagine some use cases for the source key or config items in each programs table. Would you provide a few specific examples of llmk's workflow settings that you would like to write?

The simplest case is to use a common TOML configuration file for (La)TeX files that use the same compilation steps. For example, I always use the same compilation process when I write my math course, but my files are not in the same folder.

That is exactly the role of the source key!

source = ["dir0/fileA.tex", "dir1/fileB.tex"]

The remaining settings in TOML are applied to all files in the array specified in the source key value.

Indeed, I meant source and not sequence. Sorry for the typo.

The problem with the previous approach is that I have to indicate all the files by hand. With glob syntax, I would just type source = "*/*" for files placed in subfolders.

Now I got your request. I will try working on that!

If there is "no emergency", I can code the parsing but not before June.

Great, that's even better. I will be happy to review your pull request 😄

I'll play with this on my computer. You can go on holiday ;-)
