comparing strings using ignore case

hey,

is there a method by which i can compare two string ignoring there case ??

for me writing the code as

foo : ObjectTypeA()
bar : ObjectTypeB( name.equalsIgnoreCase( foo.name ) )

is a long process because i m comparing the values of string which are present inside a map..and there are loads of comparision..

$h : HashMap(this["Account_Ownership_Type"]=="Single")

Does drools have an easier way for ignore case comparision ??

Thanks,
Abhinay

Re: [rules-users] comparing strings using ignore case

You can write a custom operator which would let you write
ObjectTypeB( name equalsignorecase foo.name ) )
You can choose a shorter name for the operator ;-)

Here you cannot use a custom operator, but you can write a function

function testmap( Map m, String key, String value ){
return m.get( key ).equalsIgnoreCase( value );
}

Of course - any Java expression. See the Expert manual.
