How to determine if a File Matches a File Mask?

Question

I need to decide whether file name fits to file mask. The file mask could contain * or ? characters. Is there any simple solution for this?

bool bFits = Fits         


        

Answer 1

Use WildCardPattern class from System.Management.Automation available as NuGet package or in Windows PowerShell SDK.

WildcardPattern pattern = new WildcardPattern("my*.txt");
bool fits = pattern.IsMatch("myfile.txt");
