Match(String, Pattern)

Match returns a non zero value if the pattern matches the string.
The point in using 'match' as opposed to a straightforward equility test, is that the pattern can contain wildcards, like '*' tp specify any group of characters and '?' to specify any one character. That allows you to match strings that are not necessarily exactly similar.

Return Value:
1 if the pattern matches the string, 0 (zero) otherwise.

Example 1: Word ending in 'e'?

print(match("hello", "*e"), "\n")
print(match("bye", "*e"), "\n")

0.0000
1.0000

Example 2: Word starting with an 'a'?

print(match("banana", "a*"), "\n")
print(match("apple", "a*"), "\n")

0.0000
1.0000

Example 3: Word containing a 't'?

print(match("clue", "*t*"), "\n")
print(match("ate", "*t*"), "\n")

0.0000
1.0000

Example 4: Word containing a 't', then an 'n'?

print(match("plate", "*t*a*"), "\n")
print(match("resting", "*t*n*"), "\n")

0.0000
1.0000

Example 5: Word ending in 'ree', with only one letter before 'ree'?

print(match("real", "?ree"), "\n")
print(match("tree", "?ree"), "\n")

0.0000
1.0000

Notes
The patterns used by 'Match' are exactly the same as the ones used by GetRecordIndexByNearKey.
