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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
