wildcardMatch method

@useResult bool wildcardMatch(String pattern)

Returns true if this string matches the pattern with wildcards.

pattern may contain:

• * matches zero or more characters
• ? matches exactly one character
• Other characters match literally. Matching is case-sensitive.

pattern must not be null. Empty pattern matches only empty string.

Example:

'hello.txt'.wildcardMatch('*.txt');   // true
'file'.wildcardMatch('f?le');         // true
'ab'.wildcardMatch('a*b');            // true

Implementation

@useResult
bool wildcardMatch(String pattern) {
  if (pattern.isEmpty) return isEmpty;
  return _wildcardMatchImpl(
    string: this,
    stringIndex: 0,
    pattern: pattern,
    patternIndex: 0,
  );
}
