How do I compare strings using wildcards?
The answer to that depends on what exactly you mean by
`wildcards'.
There are two quite different concepts that qualify as `wildcards'. They
are:
- Filename patterns
-
These are what the shell uses for filename expansion (`globbing').
- Regular Expressions
-
These are used by editors,grep, etc. for matching text, but they
normally aren't applied to filenames.
