Wildcards Pattern Matching Algorithm

Invented and implemented by Florian Schintke.

Implementation in C

• wildcards.c Function that decides whether a wildcard matches a teststring.


• wildcards.h Headerfile for the wildcards.


• testwildcards.c A little program which uses the wildcard-function and was used to test the function.


• testwildcards.main An UN*X shellscript with different tests. The important test cases are documented in that file.


• testwildcards.report The summary of the test.

Implementation in C++

• wildcards.cpp Class that decides whether a wildcard matches a teststring.


• wildcards.hh Headerfile for the wildcards.
