    - udpClose()
      Closes the connection to a UDP socket.
    - udpOpen()
      Opens a connection to a UDP socket.
    - udpRead()
      Reads the data from a UDP socket.
    - udpWrite()
      Writes data to the passed UDP socket (host).
    - uiConnect()
      The function allows you to connect to a specific event with a callback function and call this callback function in case the connected event is triggerd. This is a similar behavior to e.g. ControlA_D/dpConnect.html
    - uiConnectUserData()
      The function allows to connect to a specific event with a callback function and call this callback function in case the connected event is triggerd. This is a similar behavior to e.g. dpConnect(). Additionally to uiConnect() specific user data can be passed to the callback function.
    - uiDisconnect()
      The function allows to disconnect previously established connections of the functions uiConnect() and uiConnectUserData().
    - uniDynPatternMatch()
      Checks whether particular strings in a dynamic field have a specific pattern.
    - uniFPrintf()
      Writes to a file.
    - uniFPrintfPL()
      Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current WinCC OA language before converting.
    - uniFPrintfUL()
      Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current Windows user language before converting.
    - uniPatternMatch()
      Checks whether particular string have a specific pattern.
    - uniSPrintf()

uniPatternMatch()

Checks whether particular string have a specific pattern.

Synopsis

bool uniPatternMatch( string pattern, string s);

Parameters


Parameter	Description
pattern	Pattern-String
s	String whose letters are to be checked

Return value

Returns TRUE if the pattern was found in the string and FALSE if not.

Description

Checks whether the letters in the string s possess the pattern specified in the parameter pattern . The asterisk "*" replaces any number of characters, the question mark "?" replaces any character, characters in square brackets one of the characters specified in brackets.

Under Linux, the same rules for pattern apply as those that apply for Linux command lines for addressing files: These rules can be retrieved by using "man 5 regexp" on Linux computers.

Example

The function checks the pattern "*a" in the string: "cdeafgha".

main()


{


  string pattern;


  string ds1;


  bool ds2;


  pattern = "*a";


  ds1 = "cdeafgha";


  ds2 = uniPatternMatch(pattern, ds1);


  DebugN("The pattern is valid for = TRUE, not valid = FALSE. The function returns:" + ds2);


}

The function returns:

WCCOAui1:["The pattern is valid for = TRUE, not valid = FALSE. The function returns:TRUE"]

Assignment
