Wildcard Finder
I got bored, so I made this simple wildcard finder.
PHP Code:
// Made by Chompy
/*
Only supports one wildcard!
find(str, arr[], bool)
Syntax defines what to search for.
Array is a member of all strings to compare with.
Strict determines if it will use stricter filter rules on output.
("foo*" would not return "foo" in the output array for example)
*/
function find(syntax, array, strict) {
temp.pos = syntax.pos("*");
if (pos == -1) {
return {array[array.index(syntax)]};
}
else {
temp.a = 0; temp.b = ""; temp.c = "";
if (pos < 1) { // *x
a = 1;
c = syntax.substring(1);
}
if (!(pos == syntax.length()-1) && a == 0) { // x*x
a = 2;
c = syntax.substring(pos+1);
b = syntax.substring(0, syntax.length()-1-c.length());
}
if (pos == syntax.length()-1) { // x*
a = 3;
b = syntax.substring(0, pos);
}
if (a > 0) {
temp.out = 0;
temp.compare = syntax.substring(0, pos);
compare @= syntax.substring(pos+1);
for(temp.i : array) {
if (strict && i == compare) continue;
if (a == 1) {
if (i.ends(c)) out.add(i);
}
else if (a == 2) {
if (i.starts(b) && i.ends(c)) out.add(i);
}
else if (a == 3) {
if (i.starts(b)) out.add(i);
}
}
return out;
}
}
return 0;
}
Example:
PHP Code:
function onCreated() {
temp.a = {"foo", "foo1", "bar", "barfoo", "baroo"};
temp.b = find("foo*", a); // foo,foo1
temp.c = find("foo*", a, true); // foo1,
temp.d = find("bar*oo", a); // barfoo,baroo
temp.e = find("bar*oo", a, true); // barfoo
temp.f = find("*o", a); // foo,barfoo,baroo
temp.g = find("*", a); // foo,foo1,bar,barfoo,baroo
}
Please post any bugs and criticism below I guess. |
