Often, wild cards operate with two type of jokers:
? - any character (one and only one)
* - any characters (zero or more)
so you can easily convert these rules into appropriate regular expression:
// If you want to implement both "*" and "?"
private static String WildCardToRegular(String value) {
return "^" + Regex.Escape(value).Replace("\?", ".").Replace("\*", ".*") + "$";
}
// If you want to implement "*" only
private static String WildCardToRegular(String value) {
return "^" + Regex.Escape(value).Replace("\*", ".*") + "$";
}
And then you can use Regex as usual:
String test = "Some Data X";
Boolean endsWithEx = Regex.IsMatch(test, WildCardToRegular("*X"));
Boolean startsWithS = Regex.IsMatch(test, WildCardToRegular("S*"));
Boolean containsD = Regex.IsMatch(test, WildCardToRegular("*D*"));
// Starts with S, ends with X, contains "me" and "a" (in that order)
Boolean complex = Regex.IsMatch(test, WildCardToRegular("S*me*a*X"));
