Quick Start

String Pattern Matching

using Dubratz.DarkOrange.Core;

var dubString = new DubString("HelloWorld.txt");
dubString.IgnoreCase = true;

// Standard wildcards
bool matches = dubString.IsLike("*.txt"); // true

// SQL LIKE operators
bool sqlMatch = dubString.IsLike("%World%", DubString.WildcardOperators.SqlLike); // true

Variable Replacement

using Dubratz.DarkOrange.Core;

var replacer = new DubVariablesReplace();
string result = replacer.Convert("%IdUser%_%DateCompact%.log");
// Output: "JohnDoe_20240115.log"

// With custom variables
var customVars = new List<DubReplaceKey>
{
 new("AppName", "MyApp"),
 new("Version", "1.0.0")
};
string path = DubVariablesReplace.Convert("%AppName%_v%Version%", customVars);
// Output: "MyApp_v1.0.0"

Date & Time Formatting

using Dubratz.DarkOrange.Core;

var duration = new DubDateAndTime(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3665));
duration.AbbreviateSuffix = true;
string formatted = duration.ToString();
// Output: "1h 1m 5s"
