wildcard into .properties

Question

Does exist any method in witch i can add a wildcard into a properties file, and have the meaning of everything, like a.b.*.c.d=lalalala, or set a regex for all that ends in a.b.c=anything?

Answer 1

A normal Java properties file doesn't handle this, no. Bear in mind that it's a hashtable really, usually mapping strings to strings.

It sounds like you probably want to create your own class for this - but perhaps you could use a Properties object as a simple way of inserting the data?
