List project files¤

Python Plugin

This operator is part of a Python Plugin Package. In order to use it, you need to install it, e.g. with cmemc.

List file resources from the current project based on a regular expression.

The project-relative path of each file of the current project is tested against a given regular expression. The project resource is listed in the output, if the expression matches this path. The output entities have the following paths:

  • name - the plain file name of the resource (example: file.txt)
  • fullPath - the project-relative path including directories but no leading slash (example: directory/file.txt)
  • modified - modified timestamp (example: 2025-03-10T15:38:41.023Z)
  • size - size of the file in bytes (example: 123345)

The regular expression has to match the fullPath of the file and is case sensitive.

Given this list of example files of a project:

dataset.csv
my-dataset.xml
json/example.json
json/example_new.json
json/data.xml

Here are some regular expressions with the expected result:

  • The regex dataset\.csv lists only the first file.
  • The regex json/.* lists all files in the json sub-directory.
  • The regex new lists nothing.
  • The regex .*new.* list the file json/example_new.json (and all other files with new in the path)

We recommend to test your regular expression before using it. regex101.com is a proper service to test your regular expressions. This deep-link provides a test bed using the example files and the last expression from the list.
