Finished partial matching algorithm.

[hutch--]

I meant to get back to this one and finish it but I got sidetracked with a few other things. It is a partial matching algorithm that differs from the earlier one only in so far as it has an extra parameter for setting a starting offset so that you can go back and search the same string for another match after the first one.

Effectively it performs this task.

Code Select Expand


"1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"  The string to search.

"****567*90**cd**"  a partial pattern to search for.


It differs from a weildcard match in that it is designed to search for a fixed length pattern within the source that can have a variable range of characters in it that are marked with the "*" character.
