afs opened a new issue, #1666:
URL: https://github.com/apache/jena/issues/1666
### Version
4.6.1
### Feature
`LIKE` provides glob matching of strings.
It is simpler; regular expressions with escaping and meta characters can be
offputting.
`LIKE("ABCDE...XYZ", "AB*Z")` is true.
There are two cases of glob string matching.
Most SQL system have `LIKE` and use `_` and `%` - and these provide
character ranges `[abcde]` or `[a-z]`, negated ranges `[^... ]` but there is
also filename matching, and programming libraries, using `*` and `?` and
sometimes support of character ranges.
Glob matching is anchored.
A flag, c.f. `REGEX` would be allowed; there is only one valid flag,"i"
(case insensitive).
The old Apache ORO codebase has a "glob to regex" converted.
There are java code libraries for just `*` and `?` (e.g. Apache Commons-IO
`FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch`).
