Azure Storage Blobs

Description of Work Requested
I'd like to suggest expanding the documentation around the --pattern parameter. Specifically, there is a lack of examples for common globbing scenarios. The tools for powerful patterns seem to be available, but the exact syntax required to achieve certain outcomes is not obvious.

I opened this SO question about making an exclusion pattern for the az storage blob delete-batch command. You can find other folks having trouble with different scenarios.

I'm sure you can think of many example patterns that one might want to use, but here's a quick brain dump:

• Delete everything except for one specific directory
• Delete everything except for multiple specific directories
• Delete everything in a specific nested directory
• Delete all but one particular blob in a specific nested directory
• Delete everything from a specific directory that matches an extension (*.txt)
• Delete everything from a specific directory that matches multiple extensions (*.txt or *.html)
• Delete everything from a specific directory that does NOT match an extension (*.txt)
• Delete everything from a specific directory that does NOT match multiple extensions (*.txt or *.html)

Providing such examples in the documentation will help others to form the correct patterns for their needs.
