  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### WildcardHelper

          public WildcardHelper()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isLiteral

          public boolean isLiteral(String pattern)

      Determines if the pattern contains any * characters
      Specified by:
        `isLiteral` in interface `PatternMatcher<int[]>`
      Parameters:
        `pattern` - The pattern
      Returns:
        True if no wildcards are found

    - #### compilePattern

          public int[] compilePattern(String data)

      Translate the given `String` into a `int []` representing the pattern matchable by this class.
      This function translates a `String` into an int array converting the special '*' and '\' characters.
      Here is how the conversion algorithm works:

      - The '*' character is converted to MATCH_FILE, meaning that zero or more characters (excluding the path separator '/') are to be matched.
      - The '**' sequence is converted to MATCH_PATH, meaning that zero or more characters (including the path separator '/') are to be matched.
      - The '\' character is used as an escape sequence ('\*' is translated in '*', not in MATCH_FILE). If an exact '\' character is to be matched the source string must contain a '\\'. sequence.

      When more than two '*' characters, not separated by another character, are found their value is considered as '**' (MATCH_PATH).
      The array is always terminated by a special value (MATCH_END).
      All MATCH* values are less than zero, while normal characters are equal or greater.

      Specified by:
        `compilePattern` in interface `PatternMatcher<int[]>`
      Parameters:
        `data` - The string to translate.
      Returns:
        The encoded string as an int array, terminated by the MATCH_END value (don't consider the array length).
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - If data is null.

    - #### match

          public boolean match(Map<String,String> map,
                               String data,
                               int[] expr)

      Match a pattern agains a string and isolates wildcard replacement into a `Stack`.
      Specified by:
        `match` in interface `PatternMatcher<int[]>`
      Parameters:
        `map` - The map to store matched values
        `data` - The string to match
        `expr` - The compiled wildcard expression
      Returns:
        True if a match
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - If any parameters are null

    - #### indexOfArray

          protected int indexOfArray(int[] r,
                                     int rpos,
                                     int rend,
                                     char[] d,
                                     int dpos)

      Get the offset of a part of an int array within a char array.
      This method return the index in d of the first occurrence after dpos of that part of array specified by r, starting at rpos and terminating at rend.
      Parameters:
        `r` - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.
        `rpos` - The index of the first character in r to look for.
        `rend` - The index of the last character in r to look for plus 1.
        `d` - The array of char that should contain a part of r.
        `dpos` - The starting offset in d for the matching.
      Returns:
        The offset in d of the part of r matched in d or -1 if that was not found.

    - #### lastIndexOfArray

          protected int lastIndexOfArray(int[] r,
                                         int rpos,
                                         int rend,

                                         int dpos)

      Get the offset of a last occurance of an int array within a char array.
      This method return the index in d of the last occurrence after dpos of that part of array specified by r, starting at rpos and terminating at rend.
      Parameters:
        `r` - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.
        `rpos` - The index of the first character in r to look for.
        `rend` - The index of the last character in r to look for plus 1.
        `d` - The array of char that should contain a part of r.
        `dpos` - The starting offset in d for the matching.
      Returns:
        The offset in d of the last part of r matched in d or -1 if that was not found.

    - #### matchArray

          protected boolean matchArray(int[] r,
                                       int rpos,
                                       int rend,
                                       char[] d,
                                       int dpos)

      Matches elements of array r from rpos to rend with array d, starting from dpos.
      This method return true if elements of array r from rpos to rend equals elements of array d starting from dpos to dpos+(rend-rpos).
      Parameters:
        `r` - The array containing the data that need to be matched in d.
        `rpos` - The index of the first character in r to look for.
        `rend` - The index of the last character in r to look for.
        `d` - The array of char that should start from a part of r.
        `dpos` - The starting offset in d for the matching.
      Returns:
        true if array d starts from portion of array r.
