Functions

copy

fun copy(): PatternSpec

Copies @pspec in a new #GPatternSpec.

equal

fun equal(pspec2: PatternSpec): Boolean

Compares two compiled pattern specs and returns whether they will match the same set of strings.

free

fun free()

Frees the memory allocated for the #GPatternSpec.

match

fun match(stringLength: <Error class: unknown class>, string: String, stringReversed: String? = null): Boolean

Matches a string against a compiled pattern. Passing the correct length of the string given is mandatory. The reversed string can be omitted by passing null, this is more efficient if the reversed version of the string to be matched is not at hand, as g_pattern_match() will only construct it if the compiled pattern requires reverse matches.

matchString

fun matchString(string: String): Boolean

Matches a string against a compiled pattern. If the string is to be matched against more than one pattern, consider using g_pattern_match() instead while supplying the reversed string.
