The idea is to provide a way to find Feature Type names that matches a regular expression, to add more flexibility to this transformer.

The current FeatureTypeFilter only allows the specified FeatureType to use an exact match string.
But many times, I need to classify FeatureType names with similar names into one class. For example: river_a, river_b, river_c to river, road_a, road_b, road_c to road.
So I want to be able to add regular expressions to the FeatureTypeFilter, like expressions, etc.Its interface can be like the following, it omits the left value.The default is "=", fill in the Right Value, automatically fill the Output Port to the same value.
In order to keep the FeedTypeFilter simple and easy to use, More complex conditional assignments that are less commonly used can be ignored. In these cases, user can use TestFilter instead. such as "and" or "or" condition?etc.

If you expose the fme_feature_type attribute you can use a Testfilter to achieve this
