1 1 Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of
2 2 files.
3 3
4 4 Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix,
5 5 'set:'. The language supports a number of predicates which are joined
6 6 by infix operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
7 7
8 8 Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single
9 9 or double quotes if they contain characters outside of
10 10 ``[.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the
11 11 predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other
12 12 than globs and arguments for predicates.
13 13
14 14 Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
15 15 e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
16 16 interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.

20 20 Operators
21 21 =========
22 22
23 23 There is a single prefix operator:
24 24
25 25 ``not x``
26 26 Files not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
27 27
28 28 These are the supported infix operators:
29 29
30 30 ``x and y``
31 31 The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
32 32
33 33 ``x or y``
34 34 The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short
35 35 forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
36 36
37 37 ``x - y``
38 38 Files in x but not in y.

40 40 Predicates
41 41 ==========
42 42
43 43 The following predicates are supported:
44 44
45 45 .. predicatesmarker
46 46
47 47 Examples
48 48 ========
49 49
50 50 Some sample queries:
51 51
52 52 - Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory::
53 53
54 54 hg status -A "set:binary()"
55 55
56 56 - Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked::
57 57
58 58 hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"
59 59
60 60 - Find text files that contain a string::
61 61
62 62 hg files "set:grep(magic) and not binary()"
63 63
64 64 - Find C files in a non-standard encoding::
65 65
66 66 hg files "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')"
67 67
68 68 - Revert copies of large binary files::
69 69
70 70 hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"
71 71
72 72 - Revert files that were added to the working directory::
73 73
74 hg revert "set:wdir(added())"
74 hg revert "set:revs('wdir()', added())"
75 75
76 76 - Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b::
77 77
78 78 hg remove "set: 'listfile:foo.lst' and (**a* or **b*)"
