adding Perl-like regular-expression operators
---------------------------------------------
Key: JEXL-46
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-46
Project: Commons JEXL
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Alfred Reibenschuh
would it be possible to add the perl-like "=~" and "!~" operators to JEXL ?
to be used like:
-----------------------------
str="this is in here";
if(str =~ 'is\s+in')
{
// true here
}
-----------------------------
or the simple (true) expressions:
"this is in here" =~ 'is\s+in'
"this is in here" !~ 'not'
i know i could use "str.match(pattern)" but for simple users of an application
that like to enter simple expressions "=~" and "!~" would do it without
learning java string object methods.
