## Class TokenizedPattern

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.TokenizedPattern

-     public class TokenizedPattern
      extends java.lang.Object

  Provides reusable path pattern matching. PathPattern is preferable to equivalent SelectorUtils methods if you need to execute multiple matching with the same pattern because here the pattern itself will be parsed only once.
  Since:
    1.8.0
  See Also:
    `SelectorUtils.matchPath(String, String)`, `SelectorUtils.matchPath(String, String, boolean)`

    Constructor and Description
    `TokenizedPattern(java.lang.String pattern)` Initialize the PathPattern by parsing it.

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `containsPattern(java.lang.String pat)` Does the tokenized pattern contain the given string?
    `int` | `depth()` The depth (or length) of a pattern.
    `boolean` | `endsWith(java.lang.String s)` true if the last token equals the given string.
    `boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object o)` true if the original patterns are equal.
    `java.lang.String` | `getPattern()`
    `int` | `hashCode()`
    `boolean` | `matchPath(TokenizedPath path, boolean isCaseSensitive)` Tests whether or not a given path matches a given pattern.
    `boolean` | `matchStartOf(TokenizedPath path, boolean caseSensitive)` Tests whether or not this pattern matches the start of a path.
    `TokenizedPath` | `rtrimWildcardTokens()` Returns a new TokenizedPath where all tokens of this pattern to the right containing wildcards have been removed
    `java.lang.String` | `toString()`
    `TokenizedPattern` | `withoutLastToken()` Returns a new pattern without the last token of this pattern.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### EMPTY_PATTERN

          public static final TokenizedPattern EMPTY_PATTERN

      Instance that holds no tokens at all.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### TokenizedPattern

          public TokenizedPattern(java.lang.String pattern)

      Initialize the PathPattern by parsing it.
      Parameters:
        `pattern` - The pattern to match against. Must not be `null`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### matchPath

          public boolean matchPath(TokenizedPath path,
                          boolean isCaseSensitive)

      Tests whether or not a given path matches a given pattern.
      Parameters:
        `path` - The path to match, as a String. Must not be `null`.
        `isCaseSensitive` - Whether or not matching should be performed case sensitively.
      Returns:
        `true` if the pattern matches against the string, or `false` otherwise.
