# glob-expand v0.2.1
A (sync) glob / minimatch / RegExp call using [gruntjs](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt)'s `file.expand`.
It has only a minimum of dependencies: `glob` (version 4.x that has negation patterns) & `lodash`.
Its almost a copy/paste of 2 functions from Gruntjs's v0.4.1 [grunt/file.js](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/blob/master/lib/grunt/file.js)
Additionally you can use [minimatch](http://github.com/isaacs/minimatch/) `String`s or `RegExp`s, either as an Array or as arguments.

## Install:
`npm install glob-expand`
## Examples:
```coffeescript
expand = require 'glob-expand'
# may the original node-glob be with you (should you need it):
glob = expand.glob
expand {filter: 'isFile', cwd: '../'}, ['**/*.*', '!exclude/these/**/*.*']
# returns all files in cwd ['file1', 'file2',...] but excluding
# those under directory 'exclude/these'
# These are the same
expand {cwd: '../..'}, ['**/*.*', '!node_modules/**/*.*']
expand {cwd: '../..'}, '**/*.*', '!node_modules/**/*.*'
# These are the same too:
expand {}, ['**/*.*', '!**/*.js']
expand {}, '**/*.*', '!**/*.js'
expand ['**/*.*', '!**/*.js']
expand '**/*.*', '!**/*.js'
# Using Regular Expressions:
expand '**/*.js', /.*\.(coffee\.md|litcoffee|coffee)$/i, '!DRAFT*.*'
# -> returns all `.js`, `.coffee`, `.coffee.md` & `.litcoffee` files,
# excluding those starting with 'DRAFT'
```
See [gruntjs files configuration](http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#files)
and [node-glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) for more options.
Sorry no tests, I assumed gruntjs's tests are sufficient ;-)
