Using Docker ADD command for multiples files

Question

I want to copy some files to my images and I wan to use the ADD command. I read in the Docker documentation about regular expression for ADD, but I don't know what kind of expression can I use?

I want something like this

FROM registry:5000/ubuntu:14.04
MAINTAINER Me

# some stuffs 

ADD Sources/{file1,file2,load_file} /etc/Sources/

# more stuffs

Note: the expression is wrong but I did it to show you what I expect from the ADD command. (I did it thinking in shell regular expressions).

So, How can I do that? I can not access to the link filepath.Match. If anyone have these rules, please let me know?

Update

I am using this Docker docs reference

I am using this version:

Client version: 1.3.0
Client API version: 1.15
Go version (client): go1.3.3
Git commit (client): c78088f
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64
Server version: 1.3.0
Server API version: 1.15
Go version (server): go1.3.3
Git commit (server): c78088f

Answer 1

The ADD command and COPY both allow Golang's filepath.Match wildcards

You can find a number of examples in the test code for Go: https://golang.org/src/pkg/path/filepath/match_test.go

Rules reproduced here for those in China who can't access Google/golang.org:

    '*'         matches any sequence of non-Separator characters
    '?'         matches any single non-Separator character
    '[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
                character class (must be non-empty)
    c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
    '\\' c      matches character c

character-range:
    c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
    '\\' c      matches character c
    lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

Usually, you would end up putting all the relevant files into a sub-directory, and then just ADD that directory, to bring them into the image.
