Alfred Reibenschuh created JEXL-133:
---------------------------------------
Summary: String matching Operator short-hand inspired by CSS3
Key: JEXL-133
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-133
Project: Commons JEXL
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Reporter: Alfred Reibenschuh
Priority: Trivial
like the perl inspired shorthand "=~", css3 also has some nice shorthands
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-css3-selectors-20110929/#attribute-selectors
for "startsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 ^= expr2"
for "endsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 $= expr2"
it could be that the "^=" operator already collides with "xor and assign" which
i haven't looked at as of now.
