$source returning everything in URI, not just matched part

(Migrated from https://gitlab.com/documatt/sphinx-reredirects/-/issues/1. Issue created 3 years ago by ghost-83877-968325 @melaniewalsh.)

$source is returning everything in URI, not just the matched part.

In my config file, I have set my redirects as follows:

"features/*": "https://melaniewalsh.github.io/Intro-Cultural-Analytics/$source.html"

But then the HTML redirects are getting written as:

https://melaniewalsh.github.io/Intro-Cultural-Analytics/features/Command-Line/The-Command-Line.html

If I'm understanding things correctly, this should instead be (without /features):

https://melaniewalsh.github.io/Intro-Cultural-Analytics/Command-Line/The-Command-Line.html

I ran into this issue today.

I think this example in the docs is inaccurate:

[eecavanna]

The plugin uses fnmatch to check whether a given path matches the pattern containing the wildcard.

sphinx-reredirects/sphinx_reredirects/__init__.py

Line 2 in 78f1085

from fnmatch import fnmatch

sphinx-reredirects/sphinx_reredirects/__init__.py

Lines 74 to 77 in 78f1085

	# wildcarded source, expand to docnames
	expanded_docs = [
	doc for doc in self.app.env.found_docs if fnmatch(doc, source)
	]

Based on what I see in the fnmatch docs, I don't think fnmatch provides a way to get the portion of the path that matched the wildcard.
