[Gambas-user] LIKE function

[Nelson Ferraz]

I'm writing a small text-processing program with Gambas 0.63, and have
come with the following:

IF "zero" LIKE "*one*" THEN PRINT "true!"

This expression returns true, i.e., "zero" is like "*one*".

It seems that "zero" matches "***o" in the beginning of "one", which is
not the intended behavior.

(Perhaps it _is_ the intended behavior, but it's violating the DWIM
principle! :))

Regexps, anyone? :)
