[Typo3-dev] Wildcard match on globalString

[Ries van Twisk]

Dear Developers,

am I correct that wildcardMatch is not completely supported as read from 
tsRef?

When reading it can do this on loginUser

[loginUser = *]
[end]

But when I try to do this:
[globalString = TSFE:page|tx_rvtgbweathericaotag_icao = *] 
[end]

The routine: 	function matchWild($haystack,$needle) {...}
Doesn't do a wildcard match on just *,
I would suspect (I might be wrong) that it would match any empty string there.

Instead this case condition get's triggered and does a exact match.
case 'beforeafter':
	if (strstr($haystack,substr($needle,1,-1)))	return true;
break;



What can I do to do a wildcard on globalString (match a non empty 
string)? except writing a user function.....


cheers,
