match function does not work

[cemorsel]

Hi, 

int match(string pattern, string str) function does not seem to work, i wonder if it's not implemented or i have used it in a wrong way.

string testString = "denemedeneme";
int check = match("mede", testString);
log.message("string match test: %i\n", check);

returns 0. So does code with

int check = match("asd", testString);

What am i missing here?

Hi!

 

There is indeed some wrong behavior in match() function. I've added ticket to our internal bug tracker.

 

In your case I would suggest to use strstr() function:

string test_string = "denemedeneme";

if (strstr(test_string, "mede") != -1) {
	log.message("found");
}

Thanks!

Still not resolved in 2.3?

int test = match(lower("S|TiO2"), "speed");
log.messsge("test result: %d\n", test);

Returns:

test result: 1

Hi Priyank,

There was no changes to this method in 2.3 or later SDKs, sorry.
