| Since : | Business Analyst API for Flex 3.0. |
The pattern could be a regular expression or a string value. A string pattern could contain one wildcard symbol '*'. If the string pattern doesn't contain a wildcard, it is searched as a substring. With a wildcard, the starting characters of a tested string are compared with the content before the wildcard and the ending characters are compared with the content after the wildcard. For example, "M10*_X" string pattern means that the tested string should have at least 5 characters, start from "M10", and end with "_X".
