/**
 * Filters files using the supplied wildcards.
 * <p>
 * This filter selects files and directories based on one or more wildcards.
 * Testing is case-sensitive by default, but this can be configured.
 * <p>
 * The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a
 * single or multiple wildcard characters.
 * This is the same as often found on Dos/Unix command lines.
 * The extension check is case-sensitive by .
 * See {@link FilenameUtils#wildcardMatchOnSystem} for more information.
 * <p>
 * For example:
 * <pre>
 * File dir = new File(".");
 * FileFilter fileFilter = new WildcardFileFilter("*test*.java~*~");
 * File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
 * for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
 *   System.out.println(files[i]);
 * }
 * </pre>
