Method WildcardMatch

Namespace: DocWright.Dom.Fields

Assembly: DocWright.Dom.dll

WildcardMatch(string, string)

Matches text against a Word field wildcard pattern, where * matches any run of characters and ? matches exactly one.

public static bool WildcardMatch(string text, string pattern)

Parameters

text string: The text to test.
pattern string: The pattern.

Returns

bool: true if the text matches.

Remarks

Case-sensitive and culture-free: "abc" = "AB*" is false in Word, and so is "abc" = "?BC". Phase 14 matched case-insensitively, which was inferred from the same wrong reading that made the whole comparison case-insensitive.
