- Hi folks,
- I know, this is not the right place to ask, but may be
- one of you have a quick solution.
-
- We need a function to see if input MIGHT match.
- Which means, we would like to check if a string matches
- NOT AFTER typing in the whole string, BUT MEANWHILE
- the user is typing.
-
- For example if the pattern is "[0-9][0-9].*B", we
- would like to return YES if the user just typed in
- "34tf", but NO if he typed in "a34".
-
- I know, this is not the right place to ask, but maybe
- one of you have a quick solution.
- Anyway where is the right place for such questions ?
