wildcard_match(+Pattern,
+String)
wildcard_match(+Pattern,
+String, +Options)True if String matches the wildcard pattern Pattern.
Pattern is very similar to the Unix csh pattern
matcher. The patterns are given below:
? | Matches one arbitrary
character. |
* | Matches any number of
arbitrary characters. |
[ ... | Matches one of the characters
specified between the brackets. |
| <char1>-<char2>
indicates a range. |
{...} | Matches any of the patterns of the
comma-separated list between the braces. |
Example:
?- wildcard_match('[a-z]*.{pro,pl}[%~]', 'a_hello.pl%').
true.
The wildcard_match/3
version processes the following option:
- case_sensitive(+Boolean)
- When
false (default true), match case
insensitively.
