Class Citrus::StringTerminal

  1. lib/citrus.rb
Parent: Citrus::Terminal

A StringTerminal is a Terminal that may be instantiated from a String object. The Citrus notation is any sequence of characters enclosed in either single or double quotes, e.g.: 

'expr'
"expr"

This notation works the same as it does in Ruby; i.e. strings in double quotes may contain escape sequences while strings in single quotes may not. In order to specify that a string should ignore case when matching, enclose it in backticks instead of single or double quotes, e.g.: 

`expr`

Besides case sensitivity, case-insensitive strings have the same semantics as double-quoted strings.
