$str.match

$str.match Matches a fixed string against a wildcard expression
Usage
<bool> $str.match(<expression:string>,<string:string>[,<flags:string>[,<case:bool>]])
Description

Returns 1 if the fixed <string> matches the <expression>, and 0 otherwise.
If <flags> contains the flag r then <expression> is treated as a full regular expression otherwise it is treated as a simple wildcard expression containing the classic wildcards * and ?.
If <flags> contains the flag e then only an exact match is considered (e.g. the full <string> is exactly matched by <expression>), otherwise partial matches are allowed too (e.g. <expression> is found inside <string>).
If the third parameter is set to true, then the match is case sensitive.

Examples

%test = "Hello! My nickname is Pragma"
if($str.match(Pragma*,%test)) echo "Matches Pragma*"
if($str.match(*Pragma,%test)) echo "Matches *Pragma"
if($str.match(H*y*i?k*a,%test)) echo "Matches H*y*i?k*a"
if($str.match(H*y*i?K*a,%test)) echo "Matches H*y*i?K*a"
