Removing packages using a pattern or regular expression #8486
Closed
Description
It would be nice if it was possible to remove a bunch of packages using a regexp without typing all their names, similar to how apt-get does it. For example, if I install Boost and I want to remove all the Boost libraries there is no way to simply do vcpkg remove boost*
, I have to remove every package one by one.
Proposed solution
Make remove
accept a regular expression as a package name.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative - delete the files by hand from vcpkg/installed/.
