Re: ListMatch Clarification
=) Ok, I hushed up briefly to let all the responses come in and level
off. So one important thing I am to understand is that * is not
'wildcard', instead it means:
Foo* Foo is at the beginning of the line
*Foo Foo is at the end of the line
*Foo* Foo is somewhere in the line
Is this correct? So they are not necessarily treated as wild cards
(though they behave similarly)?
I am still not clear on *Foo*Raleigh*. Is that equal to:
*Foo*
and
*Raleigh*
or is it 'split up' and equal more to:
*Foo*
Raleigh*
or
*Foo
*Raleigh*
if the latter is the case, which one wins?
If the former is the case, if I wanted to search for Foo anywhere in a
line plus Raleigh at the beginning of a line, would I need to do:
*Foo* Raleigh*
(ie, have a space separator?)
Anyway, for the List match aspect, do you just try to match each piece and
if all of the pieces match, then you have a list match? Like you would go
through looking for a match for *Foo*. When you found it, move in to
the Raleigh part and continue on looking for it. If you find the Raleigh
part, great, you have a match. Otherwise, nope?
