Supported wildcard pattern matching characters
WebSEAL supports wildcard pattern matching characters.
Character Description \ Character that follows the backslash is part of a special sequence. For example, \t is the TAB character. Can be used to escape the other pattern matching characters: ( ? * [ ] ^ ). To match the backslash character, use \\. ? Wildcard matching a single character. For example, the string abcde is matched by the expression ab?de * Wildcard matching zero or more characters. [] Define a set of characters, from which any can match. For example, the string abcde is matched with the regular expression ab[cty]de. ^ Indicates a negation. For example, the expression [^ab] matches anything but the a or b characters.
