Class RegexStringFilter

java.lang.Object

net.sourceforge.pmd.util.filter.RegexStringFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter<String>

public class RegexStringFilter
extends Object
implements Filter<String>

A filter which uses a regular expression to match Strings. Invalid regular expressions will match nothing.

Because regular expression matching is slow, and a common usage is to match some sort of relative file path, the regular expression is checked to see if it can be evaluated using much faster calls to String.endsWith(String).
