Simplify File Input Syntax

[h20282]

For large projects with many files, repeatedly adding them using the -i option (or --input-file) is cumbersome. The current approach looks like this:

hpp2plantuml `
-i path/to/aa.h `
-i path/to/ab.h `
...
-i path/to/zz.h

To avoid manually listing each file, I end up writing a shell script like this:

PowerShell (Windows):

Invoke-Expression "hpp2plantuml $(Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *.h, *.cpp, *.hpp | ForEach-Object { "-i $_" }) -o output.uml"

Shell (Linux):

hpp2plantuml `find . -name "*.h" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" | sed -En "s#./#-i ./#p" | tr '\n' ' '` -o output.uml

Why not simplify this by allowing hpp2plantuml . -suffix "*.cpp,*.hpp,*.h" to work directly

Doesn't hpp2plantuml -i "*.hpp" -i "*.h" -i "*.cpp" work?

[h20282]

Doesn't hpp2plantuml -i "*.hpp" -i "*.h" -i "*.cpp" work?

not work for sub dir

hpp2plantuml -i "*.h" -i "*.hpp" -i "*/**/*.hpp" -i "*/**/*.h" does seem to get files from the current folder and subfolders for me. Maybe you can provide a test case. h20282 ***@***.***> writes:
