Re: [rules-users] Regular expression problem in .dsl

Hello, I have a problem how to define the proper regular expression in .dsl file, LHS part, when searching a string with a defined input character. Before I used .drl file, the rule looks like: plan : Plan( item matches "S.*|.*[^#]S.*" ) - that's OK. So it matches an input with S, but not #S - that is not the point... But how to define it in .dsl file? Keep in mind that character "S" comes from the user, so it have to be merged with my regular expression. I tried it that way: [condition][]There is a Plan with item1 {inputCharacter}=$Plan : Plan(item matches {inputCharacter} + ".*|.*[^#]" + {inputCharacter} + ".*" ) But I got compilation error: mismatched token .... So I want to create a regular expression using the input character. I use Drools 4.0.7 Regards, Peter
