How do I open multiple remote files with sublime text 3?

Question

I am currently using rsub (rmate for sublime text 3) to open remote files locally.

rmate myFile1.txt

will open a single local tab.

But when I try to open multiple remote files:

rmate myFile*

still only a single local tab opens with a single remote file. How do I open multiple files at once with * ?

Answer 1

rmate does not support directories, as the error says:

$ rmate ~/Folder
/home/me/Folder is a directory and rmate is unable to handle directories.

You could 'find' your files with find and pass them to rmate;

For example, use find to recursively find all files in current directory and subfolders and use -exec to open each item found with rmate

find . -name "*.txt" -exec rmate {} \;

Use the find command without the -exec rmate {} \; part to just show the result;

$ find .
./file1.txt
./file2.txt
./folder/file1.txt
./folder/file2.txt
