想要glob api的正则表达式来查找文件

Question

My directory structure is like D:/dir1/dir2/project_dir/dir3/dir4/dir5/cache/all_files

So i want to get all the files under cache folder. So i wrote

glob("project_dir/*/*/*/cache/*");

But cache folder is also there in dir3 or dir4 like

D:/dir1/dir2/project_dir/dir3/dir4/dir5/dir6/dir7/cache/all_files

or

D:/dir1/dir2/project_dir/dir3/cache/all_files

So can anyone give me the regex to get the files from 'cache' folder, like

glob("project_dir/*/cache/*");

Btw, this is not working because it is searching for immediate directory after project_dir.

Thanks in advance.

You can use glob('*') but the only perk for using this is it ignores all hidden files. If you want all the files that includes hidden files in a folder then use:

$files = glob('project_dir/cache/{,.}*', GLOB_BRACE);

Remember this will return all the files for "." and "" and even the directory entries . and .. Let me know in case of any issues.

Hope this helps.
