Class NameFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.jcrom.util.NameFilter

public class NameFilter
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents a simple filter that can be used to filter names. The filter is either an inclusion or exclusion filter. The filter is constructed with a comma separated list of names, e.g. "photos,comments" (reads: include photos and comments). An exclusion filter is built by prefixing the list with a minus sign, e.g. "-photos" (reads: include everything apart from photos). The isIncluded() method can then be used to check if a specific name gets through the filter or not. Two special values are recognized: "*" means isIncluded() always returns true, and "none" means isIncluded() will always return false.
