Description

pmdf test -match may be used to test a mapping pattern, particularly, to test wildcard and glob matching.
When invoked, pmdf 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. pmdf test -match will loop, prompting for input, until exitted with a CTRL/D (UNIX) or CTRL/Z (NT).

EXAMPLES


% 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: 1xa@node.example.com Match. 0 - 1xa 1 - node Pattern: ^D %

  [ 12] "m" 
Target: 1xa@node.example.com

Pattern: ^D

In the above UNIX example, the sample mapping pattern $[ax1]*@*.example.com is tested for several sample target strings.


C:\> pmdf test -match Pattern: $(1.2.3.0/24) [ 1S] ipv4 [1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0] Target: 1.2.3.4 Match. 0 - 1.2.3.4 Pattern: $(1.2.3.0/24) [ 1S] ipv4 [1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0] Target: 1.2.8.0 No match. Pattern: ^Z C:\>

C:\> pmdf test -match
Pattern: $(1.2.3.0/24)
  [  1S] ipv4 [1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0] 
Target: 1.2.3.4
Match. 
0 - 1.2.3.4 
Pattern: $(1.2.3.0/24)
  [  1S] ipv4 [1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0] 
Target: 1.2.8.0
No match. 
Pattern: ^Z
C:\>

In the above NT example, the sample mapping pattern $(1.2.3.0/24) is tested or two sample target strings.
