Ant style Pattern Matching api to find indexOf

[Raja Nagendra Kumar ()]

Hi,

I am searching ant source to find, if there are api for string contains match as per the fileset include and exclude syntax.

e.g  If I have pattern like *3_m3 and ask if it contains the strings (with option of case sensitive index match index search) g3 or abc3 etc.. then it should say yes with index as 0 (the start index)

I see SelectorUtils which does do exact match, but I am looking for indexOf kind of match.

Any leads to such api  pl if one exists.

Any expert comments pl..

I want a api to know if say String "abc"  exists as a sub string in the pattern "nag*bc" .

Nagendra

That may not give you indexOf - but you can determine if the sub string
does exist...

Thank You Scot, I had a look at propertyregex, but this seems to support regex matching as per the regular expression standards. However, I am looking for ant style include, exclude pattern contains/indexof match.

e.g in includes we could use * which is equivalent of saying [.]* or **/ to say any sub directory. I am looking to have contains/indexOf match using such kind of ant pattern.

I really applicate your inputs on this.

Nagenra

Sorry you lost me now...  Your original post stated 'I want a api to know
if say String "abc"  exists as a sub string in the pattern "nag*bc".'

So, now you want what exactly?  Is this something to see if a file exists
in a directory or some file name pattern?  I'm sorry - I don't know what
it is you are really wanting...  Can you give a more thorough example?

Hi Scot,

True, I am looking for the same. i.e to know if a sub string abc exists in pattern "nag*bc" or "naga*" etc..

What I understand by looking at  propertyregex is it can match and identify the patterns if

nag*bc --> would have been nag .*bc, but  nag*bc is ant fileset's include and exclude pattern matching syntax and it does not follow the same regular expression syntax.

May be if you could let me know the syntax of how you see propregex can solve my original need it would be great full.

I had a look at DirectoryScanner scan() impl and find that

SelectorUtils is the class which is supporting all the matchings for include and excludes.


Basically like the match method

   public static boolean match(String pattern, String str,
                                boolean isCaseSensitive)

I am looking if there is any method which says

 public static boolean containsString(String pattern, String aString2BeContained,
                                boolean isCaseSensitive)

the containsString should return true, if there is a match for aString2BeContained at sub pattern level. It is not a complete match of entire pattern and string, but the said string can match to a sub-pattern of the given pattern.

OK I see what you are asking now - got it.  So you should be able to do
that with propertyregex - I just need to think about the regular
expression - but it is possible.  Is a simple true/false sufficient as a
result or do you require the actual indexOf?

BTW, you could probably do something similar scripting with beanshell or
the like.

But - I am fairly confident you can accomplish this with propertyregex
