I use a script to auto-compile in golang with inotifywait. But this script only checks files with the extension .go. I want to also add the .tmpl extension but the script uses regular expressions. What kind of changes I have to make to this line to get the desired result?
inotifywait -q -m -r -e close_write -e moved_to --exclude '[^g][^o]$' $1
I've tried to concatenate with | or & and other things like ([^t][^m][^p][^l]|[^g][^o])$ but nothing seems to work.
Rather than trying to use a regex to exclude two types of file, why don't you just only watch those files?
inotifywait -q -m -r -e close_write -e moved_to /path/**/*.{go,tmpl}
To use the ** (which does a recursive match), you may have to enable bash's globstar:
shopt -s globstar
