 The
  • The regular expressions used in several Blueriq
Studio functions
  • Encore functions are common Java 1.4 expressions. For a complete documentation we refer to the online java documentation.
  • string - An attribute of base type string or an expression that results in a string.
  • replacement - An attribute of base type string or an expression that results in a string.


Return type

  • string. If the pattern is not found, the original string is returned.


Examples

ExpressionResultType
REPLACE ":" IN  "hello:world:example" WITH " ""hello world example"String
REPLACE ( "o" , "hello world" , "a" )"hella warld"String
REPLACE ( "O" , "hello world" , "a" )"hello world"String

Info

The first argument is a pattern (regular expression) and can therefore contain specials like \s for a space. The second and third arguments are strings or expressions, so \s will result in \s

typewarning

Only use this function if you need a case sensitive comparison of two strings. If you want to compare strings case insensitive, use the '=' operator instead.

Syntax

Code Block
string1 EQUALS string2
EQUALS ( string1 , string2 )

Inputs

string1 - An attribute of base type string, an expression that results in a string or a constant string value

.

  • string2 - An attribute of base type string, an expression that results in a string or a constant string value.

    • Return type

    • Boolean

    Example

    ExpressionResultTypeNote"hello" EQUALS "hello"TRUEBooleanEQUALS ( "hello" , "Hello" )FALSEBooleanFALSE because EQUALS is case sensitive"hello" EQUALS "hello "FALSEBooleanFALSE because of trailing spaceEQUALS ( "" , "" )TRUEBoolean
