Attempt a 'glob' pattern match on a given text string. The pattern supports "*" and "?" wildcarding of a case-insensitive compare.

The 'glob:' pattern prefix (Selenium 1.0) is assumed to already be removed.

Parameters:

text - String to compare against the 'glob' pattern.

glob - String pattern to use for comparison.

Returns:

true if the text matches the provided 'glob' pattern. false otherwise. if both parameters are null this is considered a match.

isExactMatch

public static boolean isExactMatch(java.lang.String text,
                                   java.lang.String bench)

Attempt an 'exact' pattern match on a given text string.
The pattern is assumed to be an exact text match.

The 'exact:' pattern prefix (Selenium 1.0) is assumed to already be removed.

Parameters:

text - String to compare against the bench pattern.

bench - String to match exactly.

Returns:

true if the text matches the provided bench pattern exactly. false otherwise. if both parameters are null this is considered a match.

isRegexpMatch

public static boolean isRegexpMatch(java.lang.String text,
                                    java.lang.String regexp)

Attempt a 'regexp' pattern match on a given text string.
The pattern is assumed to be a regular expression.

The 'regexp:' pattern prefix (Selenium 1.0) is assumed to already be removed.

Parameters:

text - String to compare against the 'regexp' pattern.

regexp - String pattern.

Returns:

true if the text matches the 'regexp' pattern. false otherwise. if both parameters are null this is considered a match.

isRegexpiMatch

public static boolean isRegexpiMatch(java.lang.String text,
                                     java.lang.String regexp)

Attempt a 'regexp' pattern match on a given text string, ignoring case.

The 'regexpi:' pattern prefix (Selenium 1.0) is assumed to already be removed.

Parameters:

text - String to compare against the 'regexp' pattern.

regexp - String pattern.

Returns:

true if the text matches the 'regexp' pattern, ignoring case. false otherwise. if both parameters are null this is considered a match.
