Niall Pemberton updated IO-246:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: IO-246-wildcardMatch.patch

While you're probably right that using "*?" in a wildcard expression should work as you expect - it would be difficult to fix wildcardMatch() to cater for this.

Using "?*" effectively means the same thing - unfortunately this does not work either - but its much easier to fix. Also in my mind its more precise. For example an expression like "aa?*" always means "any character in the third position" for the "?" wildcard.

> This wildcard pattern "*?" does not match correctly. The command:
> System.out.println(FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch("aaa", "*?"));
> prints out "false", even though it matches. The wildcard mask is a bit unusal, but not incorrect. It should match any input with at least one character.
