daniel,
would this be the same as starts_with("$rU", "123")? if so, i
suspect
that starts_with would be even faster.
if i write
if(fnmatch("$rU", "*123")) ...
would match require that $rU ends with 123?
yes. Practically fnmatch uses the
shell-like pattern matching, which is
used for example with 'ls' command. You can have wildcards like * or ?
at any position in the value, not only start or end. fnmatch is present
as operator for quite long time in avpops/avp_check() and might be handy
when needing to do such simple matching instead of using full regexp.
Cheers,
Daniel
