[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-9925) Groovy match operator documentation
should contain real examples and slashy strings reminder
Alex Fredrickson created GROOVY-9925:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Groovy match operator documentation should contain real examples and slashy strings reminder
Key: GROOVY-9925
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9925
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Documentation
Reporter: Alex Fredrickson
The [3.0.7 Groovy documentation|[https://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_match_operator]] could be more clear on regex usage with match operators, particularly:
# It would be helpful to note here that slashy strings are *required* for the match operator to work. `foo ==~ "^\s+$"` will never work. I know there's a section dedicated to slashy strings; it would be helpful to have a footnote here.
# This section could benefit from a better example than `{{m = text ==~ /match/}}`.
