Classe: pakeGlobToRegex  - X-Ref

Match globbing patterns against text.

if match_glob("foo.*", "foo.bar") echo "matched\n";

// prints foo.bar and foo.baz
$regex = glob_to_regex("foo.*");
for (array('foo.bar', 'foo.baz', 'foo', 'bar') as $t)
{
if (/$regex/) echo "matched: $car\n";
}

pakeGlobToRegex implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match
against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem.

based on perl Text::Glob module.
