[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-817?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-817:
-----------------------------

    Environment: Proposed
       Proposal: 
Add a client-side function odata.matchesPattern (to align with term Validation.Pattern) that can be used within the Apply dynamic expression. 

It takes two arguments of type Edm.String and returns true if the first argument matches the regular expression in the second argument, using syntax and semantics of ECMA 262 (JavaScript) regular expressions, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions

The term Validation.Pattern already refers to ECMA 262 regular expressions.

According to the (rather coarse-grained) comparison in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_regular_expression_engines the feature-set of ECMA 262 regular expressions is a subset of the regular expressions used by C#, Java, and Swift/Objective-C.
