     9  # `fileset` Function
    10  
    11  `fileset` enumerates a set of regular file names given a path and pattern.
    12  The path is automatically removed from the resulting set of file names and any
    13  result still containing path separators always returns forward slash (`/`) as
    14  the path separator for cross-system compatibility.
    15  
    16  ```hcl
    17  fileset(path, pattern)
    18  ```
    19  
    20  Supported pattern matches:
    21  
    22  - `*` - matches any sequence of non-separator characters
    23  - `**` - matches any sequence of characters, including separator characters
    24  - `?` - matches any single non-separator character
    25  - `{alternative1,...}` - matches a sequence of characters if one of the comma-separated alternatives matches
    26  - `[CLASS]` - matches any single non-separator character inside a class of characters (see below)
    27  - `[^CLASS]` - matches any single non-separator character outside a class of characters (see below)
    28  
    29  Note that the doublestar (`**`) must appear as a path component by itself. A
    30  pattern such as /path** is invalid and will be treated the same as /path*, but
    31  /path*/** should achieve the desired result.
    32  
    33  Character classes support the following:
    34  
    35  - `[abc]` - matches any single character within the set
    36  - `[a-z]` - matches any single character within the range
    37  
    38  Functions are evaluated during configuration parsing rather than at apply time,
    39  so this function can only be used with files that are already present on disk
    40  before Terraform takes any actions.
    41  
    42  ## Examples
    43  
    44  ```
    45  > fileset(path.module, "files/*.txt")
    46  [
    47    "files/hello.txt",
    48    "files/world.txt",
    49  ]
    50  
    51  > fileset(path.module, "files/{hello,world}.txt")
    52  [
    53    "files/hello.txt",
    54    "files/world.txt",
    55  ]
    56  
    57  > fileset("${path.module}/files", "*")
    58  [
    59    "hello.txt",
    60    "world.txt",
    61  ]
    62  
    63  > fileset("${path.module}/files", "**")
    64  [
    65    "hello.txt",
    66    "world.txt",
    67    "subdirectory/anotherfile.txt",
    68  ]
    69  ```
    70  
    71  A common use of `fileset` is to create one resource instance per matched file, using
    72  [the `for_each` meta-argument](/docs/language/meta-arguments/for_each.html):
    73  
    74  ```hcl
    75  resource "example_thing" "example" {
    76    for_each = fileset(path.module, "files/*")
    77  
    78    # other configuration using each.value
    79  }
    80  ```
