glob-expand v0.2.1

A (sync) glob / minimatch / RegExp call using gruntjs'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

Additionally you can use minimatch Strings or RegExps, either as an Array or as arguments.

Install:

npm install glob-expand

Examples:

 	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
and node-glob for more options.

Sorry no tests, I assumed gruntjs's tests are sufficient ;-)
