org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver
Class NamePatternMatcher


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.NamePatternMatcher
All Implemented Interfaces:
IMatcher 
public class NamePatternMatcher

extends 
Object

implements 
IMatcher

This class offers generic name pattern matching.

This supports one wildcard character ('*") anywhere in the name, or one at the beginning and end of the name.

  1. ABC
  2. *
  3. ABC*
  4. *ABC
  5. AB*C
  6. *ABC*

This pattern matching class also optionally supports additional advanced patterns beyond the stricter PDM style. These allow for two '*'s anywhere in the name.

  1. AB*C*
  2. *A*C
  3. A*B*C

Quoted names are supported.

All matching is case-sensitive!

Instantiate this class for a given generic name, and then call matches(String input) for each input name to see if it matches the pattern.

To enable the advanced patterns, pass true to the constructor.

Constructor Detail

NamePatternMatcher

public NamePatternMatcher(
String genericName)
Constructor for traditional-style only patterns, which allows for one asterisk anywhere in the name,or one asterisk each at the beginning or end of the name.

If you don't know for sure the input is generic or valid, after constructing call:

  • isValid() to determine if given generic name was valid.
  • isGeneric() to determine if given generic name had a wildcard.

    • If curious, you can also subsequently call:

  • getPatternType() to determine which type of pattern the generic name follows.

    • Once constructed for a valid name, you can call

  • matches(String) for each name to see if it matches this generic name pattern.

    Quoted names are supported.

    All matching is case-sensitive!

    Parameters:
    genericName - generic name to do pattern matching for (ie, ABC*DEF)

    • NamePatternMatcher

    public NamePatternMatcher(
String genericName,
                          boolean advanced,
                          boolean caseSensitive)
    Constructor for traditional-style patterns PLUS advanced patterns ABC*DEF* and A*C*F.

    If you don't know for sure the input is generic or valid, after constructing call:

  • isValid() to determine if given generic name was valid.
  • isGeneric() to determine if given generic name had a wildcard.

    • If curious, you can also subsequently call:

  • getPatternType() to determine which type of pattern the generic name follows.

    • Once constructed for a valid name, you can call

  • matches(String) for each name to see if it matches this generic name pattern.

    Quoted names are supported.

    Parameters:
    genericName - generic name to do pattern matching for (ie, ABC*DEF)
    advanced - true if you want to support the advanced patterns.
    caseSensitive - true if the names are case-sensitive, false if case insensitive
    • Method Detail

    matches

    public boolean matches(
String input)
    Test if a host name matches the pattern of this generic name.

    Specified by:
    matches in interface IMatcher
    Parameters:
    input - Scalar name like ABCDEF
    Returns:
    true if given name matches this generic name pattern.

    isValid

    public boolean isValid()
    Was generic name given in the constructor a valid scalar or generic name?

    Returns:
    true if name contained 0, 1 or 2 wildcards.

    isGeneric

    public boolean isGeneric()
    Was generic name given in the constructor a valid generic name (one or 2 '*'s)?

    isQuoted

    public boolean isQuoted()
    Was quoted name given in the constructor a quoted name like "abcDEF"?

    getPatternType

    public int getPatternType()
    What type of pattern is it? One of: SCALAR, ALL, WILDCARD_END, WILDCARD_START, WILDCARD_MIDDLE, WILDCARD_START_END, or WILDCARD_MIDDLE_END

    toString

    public 
String toString()
    For writing this object out. Writes out the original generic name specified in the constructor.

    Overrides:
    toString in class Object

    writeInfo

    public void writeInfo(
PrintWriter stream)
    For debugging/testing purposes. Writes out information about this generic name to the given stream file.

    verifyPattern

    public static boolean verifyPattern(
String genericName,
                                    boolean advanced)
    Static method to test if a given pattern is a valid generic name

    Parameters:
    genericName - pattern to test
    advanced - true if advanced pattern allowed: ABC*DEF* and A*C*F
