Jag skulle nog (som andra redan gjort) föreslå "mönstret matchar inte"
eller någon variant därav, om det nu inte är viktigt att framhålla att
det just är ett skalmönster.
The Jargon Lexicon kanske kan hjälpa till, se historisk not längst
ned för en motivering till skalmönster :-)
:glob: /glob/, *not* /glohb/ /v.,n./ [Unix] To expand
special characters in a wildcarded name, or the act of so doing
(the action is also called `globbing'). The Unix conventions for
filename wildcarding have become sufficiently pervasive that many
hackers use some of them in written English, especially in email or
news on technical topics. Those commonly encountered include the
following:
*
wildcard for any string (see also {UN*X})
?
wildcard for any single character (generally read this way
only at the beginning or in the middle of a word)
[]
delimits a wildcard matching any of the enclosed characters
{}
alternation of comma-separated alternatives; thus,
`foo{baz,qux}' would be read as `foobaz' or `fooqux'
Some examples: "He said his name was [KC]arl" (expresses
ambiguity). "I don't read talk.politics.*" (any of the
talk.politics subgroups on {Usenet}). Other examples are given
under the entry for {X}. Note that glob patterns are similar,
but not identical, to those used in {regexp}s.
Historical note: The jargon usage derives from `glob', the
name of a subprogram that expanded wildcards in archaic pre-Bourne
versions of the Unix shell.
