String-match Patterns

Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values:

• glob:pattern: Match a string against a "glob" (aka "wildmat") pattern. "Glob" is a kind of limited regular-expression syntax typically used in command-line shells. In a glob pattern, "*" represents any sequence of characters, and "?" represents any single character. Glob patterns match against the entire string.
• regexp:regexp: Match a string using a regular-expression. The full power of JavaScript regular-expressions is available.
• exact:string: Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that fancy wildcard stuff.

If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a "glob" pattern.
