public class WildcardFilter<T>
extends RegexFilter<T>

A filter implements filtering a string based the wildcards. It uses the following three chars as the wildcards.

 

 
 '?' The question mark indicates there is exact one of missing element. For example, colo?r matches
 "colour" but not "color" or "colouur".
 
'*' The asterisk indicates there are zero or more of the missing elements. For example, ab*c matches
 "abc", "abbc", "abdbc", and so on.
 
'+' The plus sign indicates there are at least one of the missing elements. For example, ab+c matches
 "abbc", "abdbc", but not "abc".
