# Expandable [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bigeasy/expandable.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/bigeasy/expandable)

UNIX shell style file globbing in that painlessly ports to Windows.

## Cross-Platform Wildcard Patterns

Because one of the most common argument values is a file path, **Arguable**

provides some helper functions for dealing with paths Windows. **Arguable** can

resolve UNIX file paths on Windows as if they were invoked in a UNIX shell.

**Arguable** will convert the slashes and expand wildcards. That is, it will

treat `*/*.t` as a file glob.

```javascript

var arguable = require('arguable')

  , frobinator = require('frobinator')

  ;

arguable.glob(process.cwd(), [ 't/test/example.t', 't/test/*.t' ]).forEach(function (glob) {

  if (!glob.files.length) {

    throw new Error('file not found: ' + glob.pattern);

  } else {

    glob.files.forEach(function (file) {

      frobinator.frobinate(1, path.resolve(glob.base, file));

    });

  }

});

```
