| 24 <B>DESCRIPTION</B> |
| 25 gsutil supports URI wildcards. For example, the command: |
| 26 |
| 27 gsutil cp gs://bucket/data/abc* . |
| 28 |
| 29 will copy all objects that start with gs://bucket/data/abc followed by any |
| 30 number of characters within that subdirectory. |
| 31 |
| 32 |
| 33 <B>DIRECTORY BY DIRECTORY VS RECURSIVE WILDCARDS</B> |
| 34 The "*" wildcard only matches up to the end of a path within |
| 35 a subdirectory. For example, if bucket contains objects |
| 36 named gs://bucket/data/abcd, gs://bucket/data/abcdef, |
| 37 and gs://bucket/data/abcxyx, as well as an object in a sub-directory |
| 38 (gs://bucket/data/abc/def) the above gsutil cp command would match the |
| 39 first 3 object names but not the last one. |
| 40 |
| 41 If you want matches to span directory boundaries, use a '**' wildcard: |
| 42 |
| 43 gsutil cp gs://bucket/data/abc** . |
| 44 |
| 45 will match all four objects above. |
| 46 |
| 47 Note that gsutil supports the same wildcards for both objects and file names. |
| 48 Thus, for example: |
| 49 |
| 50 gsutil cp data/abc* gs://bucket |
| 51 |
| 52 will match all names in the local file system. Most command shells also |
| 53 support wildcarding, so if you run the above command probably your shell |
| 54 is expanding the matches before running gsutil. However, most shells do not |
| 55 support recursive wildcards ('**'), and you can cause gsutil's wildcarding |
| 56 support to work for such shells by single-quoting the arguments so they |
| 57 don't get interpreted by the shell before being passed to gsutil: |
| 58 |
| 59 gsutil cp 'data/abc**' gs://bucket |
| 60 |
| 61 |
| 62 <B>BUCKET WILDCARDS</B> |
| 63 You can specify wildcards for bucket names. For example: |
| 64 |
| 65 gsutil ls gs://data*.example.com |
| 66 |
| 67 will list the contents of all buckets whose name starts with "data" and |
| 68 ends with ".example.com". |
| 69 |
| 70 You can also combine bucket and object name wildcards. For example this |
| 71 command will remove all ".txt" files in any of your Google Cloud Storage |
| 72 buckets: |
| 73 |
| 74 gsutil rm gs://*/**.txt |
| 75 |
| 76 |
| 77 <B>OTHER WILDCARD CHARACTERS</B> |
| 78 In addition to '*', you can use these wildcards: |
| 79 |
| 80 ? Matches a single character. For example "gs://bucket/??.txt" |
| 81 only matches objects with two characters followed by .txt. |
| 82 |
| 83 [chars] Match any of the specified characters. For example |
| 84 "gs://bucket/[aeiou].txt" matches objects that contain a single vowel |
| 85 character followed by .txt |
| 86 |
| 87 [char range] Match any of the range of characters. For example |
| 88 "gs://bucket/[a-m].txt" matches objects that contain letters |
| 89 a, b, c, ... or m, and end with .txt. |
| 90 |
| 91 You can combine wildcards to provide more powerful matches, for example: |
| 92 gs://bucket/[a-m]??.j*g |
| 93 |
| 94 |
| 95 <B>EFFICIENCY CONSIDERATION: USING WILDCARDS OVER MANY OBJECTS</B> |
| 96 It is more efficient, faster, and less network traffic-intensive |
| 97 to use wildcards that have a non-wildcard object-name prefix, like: |
| 98 |
| 99 gs://bucket/abc*.txt |
| 100 |
| 101 than it is to use wildcards as the first part of the object name, like: |
| 102 |
| 103 gs://bucket/*abc.txt |
| 104 |
| 105 This is because the request for "gs://bucket/abc*.txt" asks the server |
| 106 to send back the subset of results whose object names start with "abc", |
| 107 and then gsutil filters the result list for objects whose name ends with |
| 108 ".txt". In contrast, "gs://bucket/*abc.txt" asks the server for the complete |
| 109 list of objects in the bucket and then filters for those objects whose name |
| 110 ends with "abc.txt". This efficiency consideration becomes increasingly |
| 111 noticeable when you use buckets containing thousands or more objects. It is |
| 112 sometimes possible to set up the names of your objects to fit with expected |
| 113 wildcard matching patterns, to take advantage of the efficiency of doing |
| 114 server-side prefix requests. See, for example "gsutil help prod" for a |
| 115 concrete use case example. |
| 116 |
| 117 |
| 118 <B>EFFICIENCY CONSIDERATION: USING MID-PATH WILDCARDS</B> |
| 119 Suppose you have a bucket with these objects: |
| 120 gs://bucket/obj1 |
| 121 gs://bucket/obj2 |
| 122 gs://bucket/obj3 |
| 123 gs://bucket/obj4 |
| 124 gs://bucket/dir1/obj5 |
| 125 gs://bucket/dir2/obj6 |
| 126 |
| 127 If you run the command: |
| 128 gsutil ls gs://bucket/*/obj5 |
| 129 gsutil will perform a /-delimited top-level bucket listing and then one bucket |
| 130 listing for each subdirectory, for a total of 3 bucket listings: |
| 131 GET /bucket/?delimiter=/ |
| 132 GET /bucket/?prefix=dir1/obj5&delimiter=/ |
| 133 GET /bucket/?prefix=dir2/obj5&delimiter=/ |
| 134 |
| 135 The more bucket listings your wildcard requires, the slower and more expensive |
| 136 it will be. The number of bucket listings required grows as: |
| 137 - the number of wildcard components (e.g., "gs://bucket/a??b/c*/*/d" |
| 138 has 3 wildcard components); |
| 139 - the number of subdirectories that match each component; and |
| 140 - the number of results (pagination is implemented using one GET |
| 141 request per 1000 results, specifying markers for each). |
| 142 |
| 143 If you want to use a mid-path wildcard, you might try instead using a |
| 144 recursive wildcard, for example: |
| 145 |
| 146 gsutil ls gs://bucket/**/obj5 |
| 147 |
| 148 This will match more objects than gs://bucket/*/obj5 (since it spans |
| 149 directories), but is implemented using a delimiter-less bucket listing |
| 150 request (which means fewer bucket requests, though it will list the entire |
| 151 bucket and filter locally, so that could require a non-trivial amount of |
| 152 network traffic). |
