# Interface PatternOperators

public interface PatternOperators
The `search operators` use patterns like "foo*txt" to match text values. The patterns are similar to the patterns you use to match names of files in a command-line interface, or to the pattern allowed for the SQL "LIKE" operator. The supported search operators are:

- "matchesPattern" Basic GLOB matching using wildcards.
- "iMatchesPattern" Basic GLOB matching using wildcards (case insensitive).
- "containsPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards. Value is considered to meet the criterion if it contains the pattern.
- "startsWithPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards. Value is considered to meet the criterion if it starts with the pattern.
- "endsWithPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards. Value is considered to meet the criterion if it starts with the pattern.
- "iContainsPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards. Value is considered to meet the criterion if it contains the pattern. Matching is case insensitive.
- "iStartsWithPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards. Value is considered to meet the criterion if it starts with the pattern. Matching is case insensitive.
- "iEndsWithPattern" GLOB matching using wildcards.Value is considered to meet the criterion if it ends with the pattern. Matching is case insensitive.
