Hi, I want to be able to have a rule that handles wild cards. I can handle the simple case of matching Bo* or *ob, using the ?: with a call to startsWith or endsWith. But how can I handle the case of *Bob*? It says in the jess manual that the ?: matches on a TRUE value(which these first two do), and the ?= will match if the return value of the call is equal to the variable. I was thinking I could use String.indexOf() to see if the string1 is a substring of string2, but that will return an int that is the index, or -1 if no match. How can I use this -1 in my defrule? Or is there a better or another way?
Thanks, Bob Stewart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
