Hi all

The pattern tag in the datasource.xml should allow linux wild cards like "?" and "*"
as they are easier to put in rather than java way of putting the regular expressions.
I mean this can be additional feature than java regular expressions.

It is much required when we are writing a plugin for new datasources.

Hi Ghansham,

Thank you for this request. I wrote it up as enhancement inquiry 2504.

There are some cool utility classes in apache common io which help in this. You can use them.

Thanks for the tip, Ghansham. Good timing as well since I just ran across this again today attempting to create a new data source. I briefly discussed this with one of our programmers who will try taking a look into this shortly. I'll keep you updated with any progress.
