I find regexp treatment to be inconsequential?

 

 

In stringsearcher this works

 

 

This lets "Bomen" pass, but not "BOMEN" or "menBo"

 

 

But in NullAttributeValueMapper

 

 

 

This lets "Bomen" pass..but also "BOMEN"

 

I suspect because of lack of CASE sensitivity control.

 

(can't use switches in this one).

 

 

 

If i use [^(Bomen)] in the NAM on the other hand it works..and only passes "Bomen".

 

 

Why is that? some regexp flavour-mixing?

I know different transformers use different regular expression engines, although doesn't specifically mention which category the attributevaluemappers fall into
