public class SimpleFileNamePatternShell extends SimpleFileNamePattern
SimpleFileNamePattern
class
mimicking POSIX shell wildcards:
The simple pattern may contain any character greater #31, except the characters '/','\',':' and ';' ('\' may however be used to escape the special characters listed below). In addition, the platform file separator (/ on *X, \ on Windows) and the platform file-name separator (: on *X, ; on Windows) are not permitted.
The characters '*', '?', '[' (']') and '{' ('}') have special meaning.
The asterisk '*' represents any number of characters (including zero) and
'?' represents exactly one character.
'[rgb]' matches the given set of characters (a character "class"), '[!rgb]' matches
any character not in the set (negation) and '[a-z]' matches a range.
'{either,or}' defines an alternative.
Special characters may be escaped using the backslash (\). White space at both ends of a simple pattern is of corse discarded.
