<title>PatternElement type</title>
<para>The PatternElement type defines single string pattern for file/
directory matching.</para>
<para>
The defining Java class is
<ulink url="javadoc/net/brutex/xservices/types/PatternElement.html">
<classname>net.brutex.xservices.types.PatternElement</classname>
</ulink>
.
</para>
<para>
These patterns look exactly like those used in Apache Ant
<ulink url="http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#patterns">Patterns</ulink>.
The &apos;*&apos; matches zero or more characters and the
&apos;?&apos; will match a single character.
Both symbols can be combined in one pattern. The &apos;**&apos;
symbol can be used to match any directory deepth.
</para>
<para>Some example patterns:</para>
<para>
<parameter>**/mydir/**</parameter>
</para>
<para>Match all file that are located in any directory that has
&quot;mydir&quot; string in its pathname. Also applies to files with
&quot;mydir&quot; in their name.</para>
<para>
<parameter>/mydir/</parameter>
</para>
<para>The
parser will automatically append an &apos;**&apos; symbol, thus the
resulting pattern is
<parameter>/mydir/**</parameter>.
All files below the &quot;/mydir/&quot; directory (including its
sub-directories will be chosen.
</para>
<note>
<para>The pattern is OS independent. You should always use
&quot;/&quot; as path separator, even on windows based systems.
