Class Wildcard

java.lang.Object
  jodd.util.Wildcard

public class Wildcard
extends java.lang.Object

Checks whether a string or path matches a given wildcard pattern. Possible patterns allow to match single characters ('?') or any count of characters ('*'). Wildcard characters can be escaped (by an '\'). When matching path, deep tree wildcard also can be used ('**').

This method uses recursive matching, as in linux or windows. regexp works the same. This method is very fast, comparing to similar implementations.

Method Detail

match

public static boolean match(java.lang.String string,
                            java.lang.String pattern)

Checks whether a string matches a given wildcard pattern.

Parameters:

string - input string

pattern - pattern to match

Returns:

true if string matches the pattern, otherwise false

equalsOrMatch

public static boolean equalsOrMatch(java.lang.String string,
                                    java.lang.String pattern)

Checks if two strings are equals or if they match(String, String). Useful for cases when matching a lot of equal strings and speed is important.

matchOne

public static int matchOne(java.lang.String src,
                           java.lang.String[] patterns)

Matches string to at least one pattern. Returns index of matched pattern, or -1 otherwise.

See Also:

match(String, String)

matchPathOne

public static int matchPathOne(java.lang.String path,
                               java.lang.String[] patterns)

Matches path to at least one pattern. Returns index of matched pattern or -1 otherwise.

See Also:

matchPath(String, String)

matchPath

public static boolean matchPath(java.lang.String path,
                                java.lang.String pattern)

Matches path against pattern using *, ? and ** wildcards. Both path and the pattern are tokenized on path separators (both \ and /). '**' represents deep tree wildcard, as in Ant.

matchTokens

protected static boolean matchTokens(java.lang.String[] tokens,
                                     java.lang.String[] patterns)

Match tokenized string and pattern.
