public class ListParser extends java.lang.Object implements StringParser
StringParser
can create StringMatcher
instances for regular expressions. The
regular expressions are either presented as a list, or they are interpreted as comma-separated
lists, optionally prefixed with '!' negators. If an entry with a negator matches, a negative
match is returned, without considering any subsequent entries in the list. The creation of StringMatcher
instances for the entries is delegated to the given StringParser
.
For example, "*.xml,*.jpg" matches all strings with the given extensions; "!dummy" matches all strings except "dummy"; "!dummy.xml,*.xml" matches all strings with .xml, except "dummy.xml"; "special.xml,!*.xml" matches "special.xml" and all other non-.xml strings.
