How to find a string within a string?

[John Lynn]

How would I test a string to see if it contains some literal string - for example: to see if RearForwardFacing contains the string "Reversible" somewhere in it?

I see "matches" mentioned in the BNF doc at http://dtrules.com/wiki2/index.php?title=BNF.txt -- but how is it used? Is it a regex matcher?

Thanks for any examples!

John!

I want to apologize for the slow response!  I read your email while out of town, then kept forgetting to respond!

You can indeed use matches for your test!  It is a regex matcher, and it uses Java regular expressions. (See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/)  So looking for "Reversible" can be done like this in a condition

        RearForwardFacing matches ".*Reversible.*"
