Simple glob-style pattern matching for strings. Always matches the whole string from beginning to end.
Wildcard | Description | Note |
---|---|---|
* | matches any number of any characters including none | |
? | matches any single character | does not handle multi-byte UTF-8 codepoints |
[abc] | matches one character given in the bracket | taken as byte values |
[a-z] | matches one character from the range given in the bracket | range taken from their byte values |
[^abc] | matches one character that is not given in the bracket | taken as byte values |
[^a-z] | matches one character that is not from the range given in the bracket | range taken from their byte values |
Note: An empty bracket can never match anything.
