public static bool MatchesWin32Expression (ReadOnlySpan<char> expression, ReadOnlySpan<char> name, bool ignoreCase = true);static member MatchesWin32Expression : ReadOnlySpan<char> * ReadOnlySpan<char> * bool -> boolPublic Shared Function MatchesWin32Expression (expression As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), name As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), Optional ignoreCase As Boolean = true) As BooleanParameters
- expression
- ReadOnlySpan<Char>
The expression to match with, such as "*.foo".
- name
- ReadOnlySpan<Char>
The name to check against the expression.
- ignoreCase
- Boolean
true to ignore case (default), false if the match should be case-sensitive.
Returns
true if the given expression matches the given name; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The syntax of the expression parameter is based on the syntax used by FileSystemWatcher, which is based on RtlIsNameInExpression, which defines the rules for matching DOS wildcards ('*', '?', '<', '>', '"').
Matching will not correspond to Win32 behavior unless you transform the expression using TranslateWin32Expression(String).
