<br> A null value on the field is supposed to evaluate to true only when comparing with null. Otherwise, it should always evaluates to false.<br><br> []s<br> Edson<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/2 techy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:techluver007@gmail.com">techluver007@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hello,<br>
I'm checking for condition ' field not matches ".*ABC.*" ` in my rule.<br>
when field value is null, rule does not fire. But if field value != null and<br>
!= ABC, then rule fires.<br>
Is this expected output or bug? Please clarify.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
