Max length for full wildcard (*)

[xmRipper]

I want to set a length limit for full wildcard.

For example;
Mask= a*b
Length= 3

String to be checked= accccb
returns False.
String to be checked= accb
returns True.
String to be checked= acb
returns True.
String to be checked= ab
returns True.

Any ideas for this? How can i do that?

Not 100% sure what your asking, but if you use ? rather than * you can check for a single character match, so use something like

Code: [Select]

if MaskCheck('a?b') or MaskCheck('a??b') or MaskCheck('a???b') then

Ok but what i do if there more than one *
for ex.: a*b*c*d

(sorry, bad english)

I would recommend you to have a look at RegExpMatch, and thus also regular expressions in general.

Hm. Ok thanks.

Edit:
RegExpMatch('f.{0,2}c.{0,2}k',Text)

Yeah that works ^^
Thanks Toumaz.
