    Command Qualifiers    Defaults

    None.                 None.

1  –  Restrictions

    None.

2  –  Prompts

    Pattern:         mapping-pattern
    Target:          target-string

3  –  Parameters

    None.

4  –  Description

    TEST/MATCH may be used to test wildcard and glob matching, such
    as in a mapping pattern.

    When invoked, TEST/MATCH prompts for a pattern and then for a
    target string to compare against the pattern, and will output
    whether or not the target string matched and if it did match,
    which characters in the target string matched which wildcard or
    glob of the pattern. TEST/MATCH will loop, prompting for input,
    until exitted with a CTRL/Z.

5  –  Examples

      In the following example, the sample mapping pattern
      $[AX1]*@*.EXAMPLE.COM is tested for several sample target
      strings.

        $ PMDF TEST/MATCH
        Pattern: $[ax1]*@*.example.com
          [  1S] cglob [1ax]
          [  2] "@"
          [  3S] glob, req 109, reps 2
          [  4] "."
          [  5] "a"
          [  6] "c"
          [  7] "m"
          [  8] "e"
          [  9] "."
          [ 10] "c"
          [ 11] "o"
          [ 12] "m"
        Target: xx11a@sys1.example.com
        Match.
        0 - xx11a
        1 - sys1
        Pattern: $[ax1]*@*.example.com
          [  1S] cglob [1ax]
          [  2] "@"
          [  3S] glob, req 109, reps 2
          [  4] "."
          [  5] "a"
          [  6] "c"
          [  7] "m"

          [  9] "."
          [ 10] "c"
          [ 11] "o"
          [ 12] "m"
        Target: 12a@node.example.com
        No match.
        Pattern: $[ax1]*@*.example.com
          [  1S] cglob [1ax]
          [  2] "@"
          [  3S] glob, req 109, reps 2
          [  4] "."
          [  5] "a"
          [  6] "c"
          [  7] "m"
          [  8] "e"
          [  9] "."
          [ 10] "c"
          [ 11] "o"
          [ 12] "m"
        Target: 1xa@node.example.com
        Match.
        0 - 1xa
        1 - node
        Pattern: ^Z
