## org.apache.commons.io.filefilter
Class WildcardFilter

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter
          org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  FileFilter, FilenameFilter, Serializable, IOFileFilter

Deprecated. Use WilcardFileFilter. Deprecated as this class performs directory filtering which it shouldn't do, but that can't be removed due to compatability.

    @Deprecated
    public class WildcardFilter

extends AbstractFileFilter
implements Serializable

Filters files using the supplied wildcards.

This filter selects files, but not directories, based on one or more wildcards and using case-sensitive comparison.

The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a single or multiple wildcard characters. This is the same as often found on Dos/Unix command lines. The extension check is case-sensitive. See `FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch(String, String)` for more information.

For example:

     File dir = new File(".");
     FileFilter fileFilter = new WildcardFilter("*test*.java~*~");
     File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
     for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
       System.out.println(files[i]);
     }
