Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch — test whether a string matches a pattern
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_StringMatch(str, pattern)
int
Tcl_StringCaseMatch(str, pattern, flags)
- const char *str (in)
-
String to test.
- const char *pattern (in)
-
Pattern to match against string. May contain special
characters from the set *?\[].
- int flags (in)
-
OR-ed combination of match flags, currently only TCL_MATCH_NOCASE.
0 specifies a case-sensitive search.
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches
a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns
1. Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm
used for matching is the same algorithm used in the string match
Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-shell
for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details.
In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is
the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive.
If you choose this (by passing TCL_MATCH_NOCASE), then the string and
pattern are essentially matched in the lower case.
