Glob pattern = "**/*.js";

IEnumerable allJsFilePaths = pattern.ResolvePaths(@"C:\app\scripts\");

/* returns: The paths of all .js files within the current directory and its sub-directories. */

Glob pattern = "../../index.html";

string fullPath = pattern.Expand();

/* returns: The full path of the specified file. */

Glob pattern = "scripts/**/auth/*.ts";

IEnumerable filteredList = pattern.Filter(new string[] { ... }).

/* returns: Only the strings that match the pattern */

```
