maximatch(['unicorn', 'cake', 'rainbows'], ['*', '!cake']);
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbows']
maximatch(['unicorn', 'cake', 'rainbows'], function(path) { return path.length > 4; });
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbows']
maximatch(['unicorn', 'cake', 'rainbows'], /^[^k]+$/);

See the tests for more usage examples and expected matches.
Same as minimatch.match() except for pattern also accepting a filter function, a regular expression, or an array that can contain globs, filter functions and regular expressions.
`js`
var results = maximatch(paths, patterns);
The return value is an array of matching paths.
Positive patterns (e.g. foo or *) add to the results, while negative patterns (e.g. !foo) subtract from the results.
Therefore a lone negation (e.g. ['!foo']) will never match anything – use ['*', '!foo'] instead.
Just a quick overview.
- * matches any number of characters, but not /
- matches a single character, but not /
- matches any number of characters, including /, as long as it's the only thing in a path part{}
- allows for a comma-separated list of "or" expressions!` at the beginning of a pattern will negate the match
-
See globby if you need to match against the filesystem instead of a list.
