All Implemented Interfaces:

PatternCompiler

public class GlobPatternCompiler
extends AbstractGlobPatternCompiler

This is an implementation of the PatternCompiler interface that compiles glob-patterns. A glob-pattern is a pattern, where only the wildcard characters '*' and '?' are treated special. The asterisk ('*') can match any string including the empty string and the questionmark ( '?') can match any single character.
Examples:

• A*bc?e matches Abcde or AFOObarbcxe but NOT abcde or Abce.
