matches Boolean Operator

A boolean operator used to determine if a particular value matches a pattern. It contains attributes "value", "pattern" and "exact", and has no child elements. It evaluates to true if and only if value of the "value" attribute matches the glob-style pattern contained in the value of the "pattern" attribute. If "exact" is true, then they must be case-sensitive match, otherwise they must be case-insensitive match.
