Declaration
function GrepMatches(key: TKey; pattern: TKey): boolean;
Description
The GrepMatches method implements the grep-style QDB pattern-matching protocol. It is a protected method that cannot be called directly by your programs but can be overridden if you wish to implement a more sophisticated scheme.
Be aware, however, that pattern-matching via the Filter property already incurs quite an overhead -- one you may not want to increase with a complex matching routine.
