SYNOPSIS

logical function matchw(string, pattern )

    character(len=*),intent(in) :: string
    character(len=*),intent(in) :: pattern

DESCRIPTION

matchw(3f) compares given STRING for match to PATTERN which may contain wildcard characters.

In this version to get a match the entire string must be described by PATTERN. Trailing whitespace is significant, so trim the input string to have trailing whitespace ignored.

OPTIONS

string the input string to test to see if it contains the pattern.
pattern
  the following simple globbing options are available
o "?" matching any one character
o "*" matching zero or more characters. Do NOT use adjacent asterisks.
o Both strings may have trailing spaces which are ignored.
o There is no escape character, so matching strings with literal question mark and asterisk is problematic.

EXAMPLES

Example program

   program demo_matchw
   implicit none
   ! This main() routine passes a bunch of test strings
   ! into the above code.  In performance comparison mode,
   ! it does that over and over. Otherwise, it does it just
   ! once. Either way, it outputs a passed/failed result.
   !
