Method Detail

compilePattern

public static int[] compilePattern(java.lang.String data)
                            throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Translate the given String into a int [] representing the pattern matchable by this class.
This function translates a String into an int array converting the special '*' and '\' characters.
Here is how the conversion algorithm works:

• The '*' character is converted to MATCH_FILE, meaning that zero or more characters (excluding the path separator '/') are to be matched.
• The '**' sequence is converted to MATCH_PATH, meaning that zero or more characters (including the path separator '/') are to be matched.
• The '\' character is used as an escape sequence ('\*' is translated in '*', not in MATCH_FILE). If an exact '\' character is to be matched the source string must contain a '\\'. sequence.

When more than two '*' characters, not separated by another character, are found their value is considered as '**' (MATCH_PATH).
The array is always terminated by a special value (MATCH_END).
All MATCH* values are less than zero, while normal characters are equal or greater.

Parameters:

data - The string to translate.

Returns:

The encoded string as an int array, terminated by the MATCH_END value (don't consider the array length).

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - If data is null.

match

public static boolean match(java.util.HashMap map,
                            java.lang.String data,
                            int[] expr)
                     throws java.lang.NullPointerException

match a pattern agains a string and isolates wildcard replacement into a Stack.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException

indexOfArray

protected static int indexOfArray(int[] r,
                                  int rpos,
                                  int rend,
                                  char[] d,
                                  int dpos)

Get the offset of a part of an int array within a char array.
This method return the index in d of the first occurrence after dpos of that part of array specified by r, starting at rpos and terminating at rend.

Parameters:

r - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.

rpos - The index of the first character in r to look for.

rend - The index of the last character in r to look for plus 1.

d - The array of char that should contain a part of r.

dpos - The starting offset in d for the matching.

Returns:

The offset in d of the part of r matched in d or -1 if that was not found.

lastIndexOfArray

protected static int lastIndexOfArray(int[] r,
                                      int rpos,
                                      int rend,
                                      char[] d,
                                      int dpos)

Get the offset of a last occurance of an int array within a char array.
This method return the index in d of the last occurrence after dpos of that part of array specified by r, starting at rpos and terminating at rend.

Parameters:

r - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.

rpos - The index of the first character in r to look for.

rend - The index of the last character in r to look for plus 1.

d - The array of char that should contain a part of r.

dpos - The starting offset in d for the matching.

Returns:

The offset in d of the last part of r matched in d or -1 if that was not found.

matchArray

protected static boolean matchArray(int[] r,
                                    int rpos,
                                    int rend,
                                    char[] d,
                                    int dpos)

Matches elements of array r from rpos to rend with array d, starting from dpos.
This method return true if elements of array r from rpos to rend equals elements of array d starting from dpos to dpos+(rend-rpos).

Parameters:

r - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.

rpos - The index of the first character in r to look for.

d - The array of char that should start from a part of r.

dpos - The starting offset in d for the matching.

Returns:

true if array d starts from portion of array r.
