Method Detail

matches

public boolean matches(String string,
                       String expression)

Returns whether the given string matches the given expression. The expression may contain a wildcard character, but it must appear as the first character of the expression for it to be interpreted as such. If a wildcard character appears anywhere else, or the wildcard character does not exist, the expression must match the string as-is for this method to return true.

Parameters:

string - The string to match

expression - The wildcard expression

Returns:

True if the string matches the expression, false otherwise
