Recursive replace about grunt-include-replace

[alanshaw]

Probably not, I think that would make it a little difficult to reason about what the output of the task would be. What is your use case?

Interestingly, because includes are processed after replaces you can do fun stuff like replace a variable with an include directive, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The problem is that we use Sphinx to generate our site and we have a subdirectory with an index.html to each subdirectory.

I can specify the subdirectories but it would be much more handy if there was a recursive option.

[alanshaw]

Not sure I understand the problem, could you point me at some code or illustrate it somehow?

[XhmikosR]

Imagine this

index.html
foo/index.html
bar/index.html
...

[alanshaw]

Wouldn't a **/index.html in your src glob reach all of these?

[XhmikosR]

Thanks for the suggestion I will try it later when I'm home.

@alanshaw: your solution indeed works fine!

I'll close the issue, but perhaps you could put this info in the docs.
