wildmatch
Match strings against a simple wildcard pattern. Tests a wildcard pattern p
against an input string s
. Returns true only when p
matches the entirety of s
.
See also the example described on wikipedia for matching wildcards.
?
matches exactly one occurrence of any character.*
matches arbitrary many (including zero) occurrences of any character.- No escape characters are defined.
Can also be used with a custom match pattern to define own wildcard patterns for single and multi-character matching.
For example the pattern ca?
will match cat
or car
. The pattern https://*
will match all https urls, such as https://google.de
or https://github.com/becheran/wildmatch
.
The following table shows a performance benchmarks between wildmatch, regex,glob, and the regex_lite libraries:
Benchmark | wildmatch | regex | glob | regex_lite |
---|---|---|---|---|
compiling/text | 462 ns | 39,714 ns | 1,470 ns | 13,210 ns |
compiling/complex | 190 ns | 153,830 ns | 238 ns | 60 ns |
matching/text | 186 ns | 4,065 ns | 456 ns | 6,097 ns |
matching/complex | 310 ns | 16,085 ns | 1,426 ns | 3,773 ns |
The library only depends on the rust stdlib
.
