[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-2456) Support in-Keyword for Strings

["Mauro Molinari (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-2456?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15438679#comment-15438679 ] 

Mauro Molinari commented on GROOVY-2456:
----------------------------------------

Just to link the two issues womehow... Apart from the problem that {{in}} operator is currently bound to {{isCase()}} method, if String were an actual array/collection of chars in Groovy also GROOVY-7354 would be solved.

> assert 'abc'.contains('a') //1
> assert 'a' in ('abc'as List) //2
> assert 'a' in 'abc' //3 this breaks
> You ask a string if a substring is contained in it (//1). You can do that with the in-Keyword with Lists (//2), too. But you can't do this with the in-Keyword with Strings. It would be a consistent behaviour from Groovy if you could do //3.
