Class StringPattern

com.sshtools.daemon.util.StringPattern
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
This class provides services for checking strings against string-patterns.
Currently it supports the wildcards
'' for any number of any character and
'?' for any one character. The API is very simple:
There are only the two class methods match() and matchIgnoreCase().
Example:
StringPattern.match( 'Hello World", "H W" ) ; --> evaluates to true
StringPattern.matchIgnoreCase( 'StringPattern", "str???pat" ) ; --> evaluates to true
'' for any number of any character and
'?' for any one character. The API is very simple:
There are only the two class methods match() and matchIgnoreCase().
Example:
StringPattern.match( 'Hello World", "H W" ) ; --> evaluates to true
StringPattern.matchIgnoreCase( 'StringPattern", "str???pat" ) ; --> evaluates to true

StringPattern
Initializes the new instance with the string pattern and the selecteion, if case should be ignored when comparing characters.- Parameters:
pattern
- The pattern to check against ( May contain '' and '?' wildcards )ignoreCase
- Definition, if case sensitive character comparison or not.
-
StringPattern
Initializes the new instance with the string pattern. The default is case sensitive checking.- Parameters:
pattern
- The pattern to check against ( May contain '' and '?' wildcards )
-
StringPattern
Initializes the new instance with the string pattern and a digit wildcard character. The default is case sensitive checking.- Parameters:
pattern
- The pattern to check against ( May contain '', '?' wildcards and the digit wildcard )digitWildcard
- A wildcard character that stands as placeholder for digits
-
StringPattern
Initializes the new instance with the string pattern and the selecteion, if case should be ignored when comparing characters plus a wildcard character for digits.- Parameters:

getIgnoreCase
public boolean getIgnoreCase()Returns whether or not the pattern matching ignores upper and lower case- Returns:
-
setIgnoreCase
public void setIgnoreCase(boolean newValue) Sets whether the pattern matching should ignore case or not- Parameters:
newValue
-
-
getPattern
Returns the pattern as string.- Returns:
-
setPattern
Sets the pattern to a new value- Parameters:
newValue
-
-
digitWildcard
- Returns:
-
digitWildcard
- Parameters:
newValue
-
-
match
Returns true, if the given probe string matches the given pattern.
The character comparison is done case sensitive.- Parameters:
probe
- The string to check against the pattern.pattern
- The patter, that probably contains wildcards ( '' or '?' )- Returns:
-
matchIgnoreCase
Returns true, if the given probe string matches the given pattern.
The character comparison is done ignoring upper/lower-case.- Parameters:
probe
- The string to check against the pattern.pattern
- The patter, that probably contains wildcards ( '' or '?' )- Returns:
-
matches
Tests if a specified string matches the pattern.- Parameters:
probe
- The string to compare to the pattern- Returns:
- true if and only if the probe matches the pattern, false otherwise.
-
toString
Returns the pattern string. -
hasWildcard
public boolean hasWildcard()Returns true if the pattern contains any '' or '?' wildcard character.- Returns:
-
setDigitWildcardChar
public void setDigitWildcardChar(char digitWildcard) Sets the given character as a wildcard character in this pattern to match only digits ('0'-'9').- Parameters:
digitWildcard
- The placeholder character for digits
-
hasDigitWildcard
protected boolean hasDigitWildcard()- Returns:
-
digitWildcardChar
protected char digitWildcardChar() -
skipWildcards
Moves the iterator position to the next character that is no wildcard. Doesn't skip digit wildcards !- Parameters:
iterator
-- Returns:
-
skipAfter
Increments the given iterator up to the last character that matched the character sequence in the given matchString. Returns true, if the matchString was found, otherwise false.- Parameters:
examiner
-matchString
- The string to be found (must not contain )- Returns:
-
upToEnd
-
