Pattern * and ?

[Ananth Ram]

Hi All,

I need to implement something like Pattern. I have a String value available. I need to make sure the pattern entered by the user matches the String value. Something
like the below

String value = "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";    

When user provides String Pattern = "jum*";

then the output should be starting from jump. ==> jumps over the lazy dog

Apart from the above pattern, the user can also enter a regex expression.

I need some pointers on where to start on implementing the same. Does the java.util. Regex/Pattern helps me.

Thanks for all help,

Thanks,
Ananth Ram
