Method Detail

createPattern

public Pattern createPattern(String patternAsString)

Create a regex pattern for the provided pattern string which is case sensitive. Both Glob and Regex expressions are supported. If the input expression starts with a "/" and ends with a "/" it is assumed to be a regex expression (e.g. "/^http://www\.myimages\.com/.*$/"). Otherwise it is assumed to be a Glob expression (e.g. "http://www.myimages.com/*"). Note: The Glob pattern is very simple, it only supports "*" and "**" wildcards. "**" matches all characters (0 or more occurrences) whereas "*" matches all characters (0 or more occurrences) with the exception of the "/" character.

Parameters:

patternAsString - the expression that we wish to create a Regex pattern for.

Returns:

the corresponding regex pattern.

createPattern

public Pattern createPattern(String patternAsString,
                             boolean caseInsensitive)

Create a regex pattern for the provided pattern string. This matching pattern will be case sensitive (or not) depending on the value of the caseInsensitive parameter. Both Glob and Regex expressions are supported by this method. If the input expression starts with a "/" and ends with a "/" it is assumed to be a regex expression (e.g. "/^http://www\.myimages\.com/.*$/"). Otherwise it is assumed to be a Glob expression (e.g. "http://www.myimages.com/*"). Note: The Glob pattern is very simple, it only supports "*" and "**" wildcards. "**" matches all characters (0 or more occurrences) whereas "*" matches all characters (0 or more occurrences) with the exception of the "/" character.

Parameters:

patternAsString - the expression that we wish to create a Regex pattern for.

caseInsensitive - if true is specified then the matching pattern created won't be case sensitive, otherwise it will be.

Returns:

the corresponding regex pattern.
