ResolveFiles(IEnumerable<String>, String)

Resolves paths to absolute file paths with wildcard support.

public static IList<FileInfo> ResolveFiles(IEnumerable<string> paths, string defaultPattern = "*")

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEnumerable<String>	paths	The paths to resolve.
String	defaultPattern	The default pattern to use for finding files when a directory is specified.

Returns

Type	Description
IList<FileInfo>	Handles to all matching files that were found

paths are first interpreted as files, then as directories. Directories are searched using the defaultPattern. * and ? characters are considered as wildcards.
