public class StringMatch
extends AbstractExpression

The stringMatch operator takes two sub-expressions which must have single and A base-type of string. The result is A single boolean with A value of true if the two strings match according to the comparison rules defined by the attributes below and false if they don't. If either sub-expression is NULL then the operator results in NULL.

Attribute : caseSensitive [1]: boolean

Whether or not the match is to be carried out case sensitively.

Attribute : substring [0..1]: boolean = false

This attribute is now deprecated, the substring operator should be used instead. If true, then the comparison returns true if the first string contains the second one, otherwise it returns true only if they match entirely.

public java.lang.Boolean getCaseSensitive()

Gets value of caseSensitive attribute.

Returns:

value of caseSensitive attribute

See Also:

setCaseSensitive(java.lang.Boolean)

setCaseSensitive

public void setCaseSensitive(java.lang.Boolean caseSensitive)

Sets new value of caseSensitive attribute.

Parameters:

caseSensitive - new value of caseSensitive attribute

See Also:

getCaseSensitive()

getSubString

public java.lang.Boolean getSubString()

Gets value of substring attribute.

Returns:

value of substring attribute

See Also:

setSubString(java.lang.Boolean)

setSubString

public void setSubString(java.lang.Boolean subString)

Sets new value of substring attribute.

Parameters:

subString - new value of substring attribute

See Also:

getSubString()

evaluateSelf

protected Value evaluateSelf(int depth)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

Evaluates this expression. All children must be already evaluated. Contains no checks.

Specified by:

evaluateSelf in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

depth - depth of this expression in expression tree (root's depth = 0)

Returns:

result of evaluation
