Wildcards make one of those sets of simplified rules. This module converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions, so that you can use them for matching. It handles the C<*> and C jokers, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives C<{,}>, but also C<%> and C<_> SQL wildcards. If required, it can also keep original C<(...)> groups or C<^> and C<$> anchors. Backspace (C<\>) is used as an escape character. Typesets that mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells are also provided. =head1 METHODS =cut sub _check_self { croak 'First argument isn\'t a valid ' . __PACKAGE__ .

C lists all features that should be enabled when converting wildcards to regexps. Refer to L for details on what can be passed in C<$what>. The C specifies a predefined set of C features to use. See L for details on which types are valid. The C option overrides C. C lists which atoms should be capturing. Refer to L for more details. =head2 C $rw->do($what); $rw->do(set => $c1); $rw->do(add => $c2); $rw->do(rem => $c3); Specifies the list of metacharacters to convert or to prevent for escaping. They fit into six classes : =over 4 =item * C<'jokers'> Converts C to C<.> and C<*> to C<.*>. 'a**\\*b??\\?c' ==> 'a.*\\*b..\\?c' =item * C<'sql'> Converts C<_> to C<.> and C<%> to C<.*>. 'a%%\\%b__\\_c' ==> 'a.*\\%b..\\_c' =item * C<'commas'> Converts all C<,> to C<|> and puts the complete resulting regular expression inside C<(?: ... )>. 'a,b{c,d},e' ==> '(?:a|b\\{c|d\\}|e)' =item * C<'brackets'> Converts all matching C<{ ... , ... }> brackets to C<(?: ... | ... )> alternations. If some brackets are unbalanced, it tries to substitute as many of them as possible, and then escape the remaining unmatched C<{> and C<}>. Commas outside of any bracket-delimited block are also escaped. 'a,b{c,d},e' ==> 'a\\,b(?:c|d)\\,e' '{a\\{b,c}d,e}' ==> '(?:a\\{b|c)d\\,e\\}' '{a{b,c\\}d,e}' ==> '\\{a\\{b\\,c\\}d\\,e\\}' =item * C<'groups'> Keeps the parenthesis C<( ... )> of the original string without escaping them. Currently, no check is done to ensure that the parenthesis are matching. 'a(b(c))d\\(\\)' ==> (no change) =item * C<'anchors'> Prevents the I C<^> and I C<$> anchors to be escaped. Since C<[...]> character class are currently escaped, a C<^> will always be interpreted as I. 'a^b$c' ==> (no change) =back Each C<$c> can be any of : =over 4 =item * A hash reference, with wanted metacharacter group names (described above) as keys and booleans as values ; =item * An array reference containing the list of wanted metacharacter classes ; =item * A plain scalar, when only one group is required. =back When C is present, the classes given as its value replace the current object options. Then the C classes are added, and the C classes removed. Passing a sole scalar C<$what> is equivalent as passing C<< set => $what >>. No argument means C<< set => [ ] >>. $rw->do(set => 'jokers'); # Only translate jokers. $rw->do('jokers'); # Same. $rw->do(add => [ qw ]); # Translate also SQL and commas. $rw->do(rem => 'jokers'); # Specifying both 'sql' and # 'jokers' is useless. $rw->do(); # Translate nothing. The C method returns the L object. =head2 C $rw->type($type); Notifies to convert the metacharacters that corresponds to the predefined type C<$type>. C<$type> can be any of : =over 4 =item * C<'jokers'>, C<'sql'>, C<'commas'>, C<'brackets'> Singleton types that enable the corresponding C classes. =item * C<'unix'> Covers typical Unix shell globbing features (effectively C<'jokers'> and C<'brackets'>). =item * C<$^O> values for common Unix systems Wrap to C<'unix'> (see L for the list). =item * C Defaults to C<'unix'>. =item * C<'win32'> Covers typical Windows shell globbing features (effectively C<'jokers'> and C<'commas'>). =item * C<'dos'>, C<'os2'>, C<'MSWin32'>, C<'cygwin'> Wrap to C<'win32'>. =back In particular, you can usually pass C<$^O> as the C<$type> and get the corresponding shell behaviour. $rw->type('win32'); # Set type to win32. $rw->type($^O); # Set type to unix on Unices and win32 on Windows $rw->type(); # Set type to unix. The C method returns the L object. =head2 C $rw->capture($captures); $rw->capture(set => $c1); $rw->capture(add => $c2); $rw->capture(rem => $c3); Specifies the list of atoms to capture. This method works like L, except that the classes are different : =over 4 =item * C<'single'> Captures all unescaped I<"exactly one"> metacharacters, i.e. C for wildcards or C<_> for SQL. 'a???b\\??' ==> 'a(.)(.)(.)b\\?(.)' 'a___b\\__' ==> 'a(.)(.)(.)b\\_(.)' =item * C<'any'> Captures all unescaped I<"any"> metacharacters, i.e. C<*> for wildcards or C<%> for SQL. 'a***b\\**' ==> 'a(.*)b\\*(.*)' 'a%%%b\\%%' ==> 'a(.*)b\\%(.*)' =item * C<'greedy'> When used in conjunction with C<'any'>, it makes the C<'any'> captures greedy (by default they are not). 'a***b\\**' ==> 'a(.*?)b\\*(.*?)' 'a%%%b\\%%' ==> 'a(.*?)b\\%(.*?)' =item * C<'brackets'> Capture matching C<{ ... , ... }> alternations. 'a{b\\},\\{c}' ==> 'a(b\\}|\\{c)' =back $rw->capture(set => 'single'); # Only capture "exactly one" # metacharacters. $rw->capture('single'); # Same. $rw->capture(add => [ qw ]); # Also greedily capture # "any" metacharacters. $rw->capture(rem => 'greedy'); # No more greed please. $rw->capture(); # Capture nothing. The C method returns the L object. =head2 C my $rx = $rw->convert($wc); my $rx = $rw->convert($wc, $type); Converts the wildcard expression C<$wc> into a regular expression according to the options stored into the L object, or to C<$type> if it's supplied. It successively escapes all unprotected regexp special characters that doesn't hold any meaning for wildcards, then replace C<'jokers'>, C<'sql'> and C<'commas'> or C<'brackets'> (depending on the L or L options), all of this by applying the C<'capture'> rules specified in the constructor or by L. =cut sub convert { my ($self, $wc, $type) = @_; _check_self $self; my $config = (defined $type) ? $self->_type($type) : $self; return unless defined $wc; my $e = $config->{escape}; # Escape : # - an even number of \ that doesn't protect a regexp/wildcard metachar # - an odd number of \ that doesn't protect a wildcard metachar $wc =~ s/ (?{do}; $wc = $self->_jokers($wc) if $do->{jokers}; $wc = $self->_sql($wc) if $do->{sql}; if ($do->{brackets}) { $wc = $self->_bracketed($wc); } elsif ($do->{commas} and $wc =~ /(?{'c_brackets'} . $self->_commas($wc) .

For example, Windows XP shell matches C<*a> like C<.*a>, C<*a?> like C<.*a.?>, C<*a??> like C<.*a.{0,2}> and so on. =head1 SEE ALSO L. =head1 AUTHOR Vincent Pit, C<< >>, L.
