endfunctionBasic case (in)sensitive pattern matching.
Supported wildcard characters:
* - matches 0 or more any characters
? - matches exactly 1 any character
# - matches any digit, 0-9
[noparse]
- [/noparse] - matches any character in <list> (l, i, s and t in this example)
[!list] - matches any character that isn't in the list
Use \\* or \\? or \\[ to match a * or ? or [ respectively.
To get a ] in a list, put it as first character of the list.
To get a ! in a list, don't put it first.
By common convention, special characters *, ? and # have no meaning when used in a list.
If "case" is true, the matching is case sensitive.
Examples:
Code:match("AceHart", "", case) returns false match("AceHart", "*", case) returns true match("AceHart", "*acehart*", false) returns true match("AceHart", "*e*", case) returns true match("AceHart", "**test**", case) returns false match("AceHart", "Ace?art") returns true match("Gray", "gr[ea]y", false) returns true "####" matches any 4 digits "[!0123456789]" matches any character that is not a digit
