+1. Seems to fit a RegexUtils.wildcardToRegex type method.
Note that IO has a Wildcard concept already, so ideally it would match
the same schema.

But where do humans get the idea that * and ? are wildcards?

Agreed, it could be adapted
No, the wildcard is used for a database search. Find me all names
matching "Foo*". This is not for [io].
The oro code does look reasonable I'd say.

What does the regex represent? A filename?
If so, then maybe the code belongs in IO rather than Lang.
Also, filename globbing is not consistent across OSes.

Hi folks,
assuming that "standard wildcard" is actually globbing I came around of
an globbing to regexp converter somewhere - I will have a look

I've got code like this as well. It allows you to take a pattern containing
glob-style wildcards and convert to a regex that you can then use to do your
matching fo
Can I get some sense of use case? What would you use it for? Just curious.

wildcard string (with * and ?) to a regex.
Here is a first suggestion, although I'm sure it can be improved.
public Pattern createPattern(String text) {
StringTokenizer tkn = new StringTokenizer(text, "?*", true);
