JWildcard

A collection of wildcard utilities. This library helps to convert wildcards into regex string. Wildcards can be declared using custom made rules.

Examples:

This wildcard:

"mywil?card*"

will be converted to this regex string:

"\Qmywil\E.\Qcard\E.*"

In order to convert wildcard into regex string use the following example:

JWildcard.wildcardToRegex("mywil?card*");

Default wildcard rules are: "?" -> ".", "*" -> ".*", but you can change the default behaviour, by simply defining the new rules:

JWildcard.wildcardToRegex(wildcard, rules, strict);

In order to check matching directly you can use the following example:

JWildcard.matches("mywild*", "mywildcard");

In order to convert wildcard string into SQL like pattern:

JWildcard.wildcardToSqlPattern("?wild*Ca?rd*") // outputs this => _wild%Ca_rd%
