findMatching()

labelList Foam::stringListOps::findMatching	(	const StringListType &	input,
		const wordRes &	allow,
		const wordRes &	deny = wordRes(),
		AccessOp	aop = noOp()
	)

Return ids for items with matching names.

Uses a combination of allow and deny lists

An empty 'allow' list accepts everything not in the 'deny' list. A literal match has higher priority over a regex match.

Eg,

   input:  ( abc apple wall wall1 wall2 )
   allow:  ( abc  def  "wall.*" )
   deny:   ( "[ab].*"  wall )

   result:  (abc wall1 wall2)

Returns

List indices for matches
