var escapeGlob = require('glob-escape');
var glob = require('glob');
glob('algorithms/a*.txt', function(err, array) {
// array might contain several files like:
// - algorithms/a*.txt
// - algorithms/alpha-beta_pruning.txt
// - algorithms/augmented_lagrangian_method.txt
});
glob(escapeGlob('algorithms/a*.txt'), function(err, array) {
// array will only contain one file:
// - algorithms/a*.txt
});
Escapes all glob patterns in the provided glob.
glob may be a string or an array of strings.
