About this tool
Test whether a glob pattern (with * and ?) matches a string, and see the regex it compiles to.
The Glob Pattern Tester is a specialized tool designed for developers and testers who work with glob patterns, allowing them to test whether a specific pattern matches a given string. It also provides the compiled regex equivalent, making it easier to understand and work with these patterns. This tool is particularly useful for those who need to validate file paths, URLs, or other string patterns in their applications.
Open Glob Pattern Tester on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Enter a glob pattern into the Glob pattern field, using * to represent any run of characters and ? for a single character, to see how it matches against your test string.
Input a test string to check against the glob pattern, considering factors like character sequences and pattern specificity.
Choose whether to perform a case-insensitive match to account for variations in string case, ensuring your pattern works as expected across different scenarios.
The Glob Pattern Tester ensures that your glob patterns are correctly matching the intended strings, reducing errors in your application.
By showing the compiled regex, this tool helps developers understand how their glob patterns are interpreted, facilitating better pattern design.
With the ability to quickly test glob patterns against various strings and with case-insensitive options, developers can efficiently refine their patterns.
The * wildcard in the Glob Pattern Tester matches any sequence of characters, including none, allowing you to create patterns that are flexible and adaptable to different string lengths.
Yes, the Glob Pattern Tester allows you to choose between case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching, giving you control over how string comparisons are performed.
Seeing the compiled regex helps in understanding how the glob pattern is interpreted, which can be crucial for debugging and optimizing pattern performance in your applications.
