pattern
- Glob pattern. Nothing matches if pattern==null.string
- String to match against pattern.true

false
otherwise.public static boolean match(java.lang.String pattern, java.lang.String string, java.lang.String[] substr)
The caller can provide an array of strings that will be filled in with
the substrings of string
that matched the glob
meta-characters in pattern
. The array of strings may be
partially modified even if the string did not match the glob pattern.
The array may contain more elements than glob meta-characters, in
which case those extra elements will not be modified; the array may
also contain fewer elements or even be null
, to ignore
some or all of the glob meta-characters. In other words, the user can
pass pretty much anything and this method defines errors out of
existence.
pattern
- Glob pattern.string
- String to match against pattern.substr
- Array of strings provided by the caller, to be filled in
with the substrings that matched the glob meta-characters.
