Class WildcardMatcher

Object

WildcardMatcher

public class WildcardMatcher
extends Object

Match text with a wildcards (called template) with any other text.

This matcher supports only one possible wildcard symbol which is '*'.

That way you don't need to worry to escape any symbols in your template like in case when using regexps.

For example given template "lol*lol":

• lolasdlol - match
• looooollol - does not match

Worst case complexity is O(n^m)
