length

public int length()

Returns:

the length of this path, i.e. the number of matchers contained in it

true if this path is a prefix of the given other path

getElementAtLevel

public MatcherPath.Element getElementAtLevel(int level)

Returns the Element at the given level.

Parameters:

level - the level to get the element from

Returns:

the element

commonPrefix

public MatcherPath commonPrefix(MatcherPath that)

Returns the common prefix of this MatcherPath and the given other one.
