Question

How to match "FileNew" in "FileNewABC" which is a value from f_var and return true?

It always return false.

Answer 1

You need to use find or it will try and match entire input to the pattern.

• The matches method attempts to match the entire input sequence against the pattern.

• The lookingAt method attempts to match the input sequence, starting at the beginning, against the pattern.

• The find method scans the input sequence looking for the next subsequence that matches the pattern.
