    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `isSelected(java.io.File basedir, java.lang.String filename, java.io.File file)` The heart of the matter.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### FilenameSelector

          public FilenameSelector()

      Creates a new `FilenameSelector` instance.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### toString

          public java.lang.String toString()

      Description copied from class: `DataType`
      Basic DataType toString().
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `DataType`
      Returns:
        a string describing this object

    - #### setName

          public void setName(java.lang.String pattern)

      The name of the file, or the pattern for the name, that should be used for selection.
      Parameters:
        `pattern` - the file pattern that any filename must match against in order to be selected.

    - #### setRegex

          public void setRegex(java.lang.String pattern)

      The regular expression the file name will be matched against.
      Parameters:
        `pattern` - the regular expression that any filename must match against in order to be selected.

    - #### setCasesensitive

          public void setCasesensitive(boolean casesensitive)

      Whether to ignore case when checking filenames.
      Parameters:
        `casesensitive` - whether to pay attention to case sensitivity

    - #### setNegate

          public void setNegate(boolean negated)

      You can optionally reverse the selection of this selector, thereby emulating an <exclude> tag, by setting the attribute negate to true. This is identical to surrounding the selector with <not></not>.
      Parameters:
        `negated` - whether to negate this selection

    - #### setParameters

          public void setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)

      When using this as a custom selector, this method will be called. It translates each parameter into the appropriate setXXX() call.
      Specified by:
        `setParameters` in interface `Parameterizable`
      Overrides:
        `setParameters` in class `BaseExtendSelector`
      Parameters:
        `parameters` - the complete set of parameters for this selector

    - #### verifySettings

          public void verifySettings()

      Checks to make sure all settings are kosher. In this case, it means that the name attribute has been set.
      Overrides:
        `verifySettings` in class `BaseSelector`

    - #### isSelected

          public boolean isSelected(java.io.File basedir,
                                    java.lang.String filename,
                                    java.io.File file)

      The heart of the matter. This is where the selector gets to decide on the inclusion of a file in a particular fileset. Most of the work for this selector is offloaded into SelectorUtils, a static class that provides the same services for both FilenameSelector and DirectoryScanner.
      Specified by:
        `isSelected` in interface `FileSelector`
      Specified by:
        `isSelected` in class `BaseExtendSelector`
      Parameters:
        `basedir` - the base directory the scan is being done from
        `filename` - is the name of the file to check
        `file` - is a java.io.File object the selector can use
      Returns:
        whether the file should be selected or not
