Looks for a specific file in the patch called drivers/net

silent

Yes

No match, the script counts slashes

+sub file_match_pattern {
+ my ($file, $pattern) = @_;
+ if (substr($pattern, -1) eq "/") {
+ if ($file =~ m@^$pattern@) {
+ return 1;
+ }
+ } else {
+ if ($file =~ m@^$pattern@) {
+ my $s1 = ($file =~ tr@/@@);
+ my $s2 = ($pattern =~ tr@/@@);
+ if ($s1 == $s2) {
+ return 1;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ return 0;
+}

Enhancements appreciated.
