Class Matcher

java.lang.Object
  com.sapportals.wcm.util.regex.Matcher

public class Matcher

extends Object

An engine that performs match operations on a character sequence by interpreting a Pattern.
For documentation refer to the J2SE 1.4 Matcher class.
Be aware of one difference: the matches() method corresponds to the J2SE 1.4 find() method whereas the matches_JDK() method corresponds to the J2SE 1.4 matches() method. The reason is compatibility with older versions of this class.
