NameParser (ProGuardCORE)

java.lang.Object
- proguard.util.NameParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

StringParser
```
public class NameParser
extends java.lang.Object
implements StringParser
```
This StringParser can create StringMatcher instances for regular expressions matching names. The regular expressions are interpreted as comma-separated lists of names, optionally prefixed with '!' negators. If a name with a negator matches, a negative match is returned, without considering any subsequent entries in the list. The regular expressions can contain the following wildcards: '?' for a single character, '*' for any number of characters, and '' for a reference to an earlier wildcard (n = 1, 2, ...)
