How to restrict files to matching dir-or-file names?

[douglasdd]

My use case: In an enormous codebase, I'd like to restrict searching to only those files owned or related to a particular team/feature ("FooBar" for example).

• (a) .../AFooBarFileName.xyz <-- files like this in any directory
• (b) .../ADirNameWithFooBarInside/.../.../... <-- all files+dirs deeper under here

If I had bash4 with globstar (darned Apple!) I think I could specify the search paths like

• **/*FooBar*/**, and
• **/*FooBar*

I can get close with:

rg --iglob '*FooBar*' \    ## this handles case (a)
    --iglob '*FooBar*/' \  ## sorta does (b), but misses files in further nested subdirs
    'pattern'  

Does this make sense? (If not I can try to create a .tar example test case)

Seems like rg --iglob '**/*FooBar*/**' should work. So you were almost there. :-)

Also, I'm pretty sure zsh is available on macOS (isn't it the default nowadays?), and I believe that supports **.

Ah, thanks.
((Being heavily invested in bash (& bashrc;), I didn't pay attention to zsh & thought it was only coming in future macOS versions.))
