public class PathPattern

extends Pattern

A special-purpose subclass of the Pattern class. Has two different applications:

to search files by their paths using special patterns;

to match path strings Syntax:

? - any character but path separator

* - any string no including path separators

** - any path

Usage:

 PathPattern pp=new PathPattern("jregex/**"); //all files and directories
                                              //under the jregex directory
 Enumeration files=pp.enumerateFiles();
 Matcher m=pp.matcher();
 while(files.hasMoreElements()){
    File f=(File)files.nextElement();
    m.setTarget(f.getPath());
    if(!m.matches()) System.out.println("Error in jregex.io.PathPattern");
 }
