NAME MatchPattern -- Checks for a pattern match with a string (V36) SYNOPSIS match = MatchPattern(pat, str) D0 D1 D2 bool matchpattern(strptr, strptr) FUNCTION Checks for a pattern match with a string. The pattern must be a tokenized string output by parsepattern(). this routine is case-sensitive. NOTE: this routine is highly recursive. You must have at least 1500 free bytes of stack to call this (it will cut off it's recursion before going any deeper than that and return failure). That's _currently_ enough for about 100 levels deep of #, (, ~, etc. INPUTS pat - Special pattern string to match as returned by parsepattern() str - String to match against given pattern RESULT match - success or failure of pattern match. On failure, ioerr() will return 0 or error_too_many_levels (starting with V37 - before that there was no stack checking). SEE ALSO parsepattern(), matchpatternnocase(), matchfirst(), matchnext()
