New issue 140 by smartasa...@gmail.com: equals and equalsIgnoreCase are
both using regex improperly
http://code.google.com/p/as3-commons/issues/detail?id=140

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. StringUtils.equals turns arg1 into a regex and tests for inclusion in
arg2. This will return true if arg1 is a prefix of arg2.
Also will fail if arg1 contains periods or other regular expression
meta-characters.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

StringUtils.equals("HI", "HI MOM") returns true.
should return false.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Hi,

This issue was fixed in version 0.2.1 (24.03.2010)
Is upgrading to a newer version an option?

Cheers,

Bert
