Class Method Details

.field_result(str, caller) ⇒ Object

Given the passed in str and caller this will return a RegexpResult object which gives the database quoted fieldname/column and can tell you whether or not the original str is indicating a negated regular expression.

Examples

r = RegexpBase.field_result( 'id' )
r.fieldname => # 'id'
r.negate?   => # false

r = RegexpBase.field_result( 'id_ne' )
r.fieldname => # 'id'
r.negate?   => # true

r = RegexpBase.field_result( 'id_not' )
r.fieldname => # 'id'
r.negate?   => # true

r = RegexpBase.field_result( 'id_does_not_match' )
r.fieldname => # 'id'
r.negate?   => # true
