TMaskUTF8.Matches function

Declaration

function Matches(const aStringToMatch: string): Boolean; virtual

Arguments

Function result

Description

Matches calls Compile if the MaskOpCodes have not been compiled for the Mask expression, or when one the configuration parameters has been changed for the class instance. When CaseSensitive is set to False, the value in aStringToMatch is converted to a lowercase UTF-8 codepoint for the comparison.

Matches calls the IntfMatches method to implement the comparison between the specified value using the MaskOpCodes for the class instance. The return value is True if the call to IntfMatches is successful. It is False if either the Mask expression or the compared value is too long or too short.
