wildmatch

Match strings against a simple wildcard pattern. Tests a wildcard pattern p against an input string s. Returns true only when p matches the entirety of s.

See also the example described on wikipedia for matching wildcards.

• ? matches exactly one occurrence of any character.
• * matches arbitrary many (including zero) occurrences of any character.
• No escape characters are defined.

Can also be used with a custom match pattern to define own wildcard patterns for single and multi-character matching.

For example the pattern ca? will match cat or car. The pattern https://* will match all https urls, such as https://google.de or https://github.com/becheran/wildmatch.

The library only depends on the rust stdlib.
