  • Hey, it's another one. I just answered for what you have asked ;) Try this Pattern.matches('(.-*(Insert|Update|Delete)-.*-)(True|False)','abc-Insert-def-True');

  • Check your matcher. It's having '-' at the end which will not match with the pattern. The only difference of my two answers is second one accepting Insert or Update or Delete

You can use the apex string methods as following:

string s = 'Anything-Insert-Anything-True';

if(s.contains('-Insert-') && s.endsWith('-True')){
        system.debug('success');
}
//repeat for your other possibilities

  • No, something more generic I am looking for.

  • Hmm, could you then reflect that and any other conditions you have in your question by an update ? Else it's pretty hard for anyone to answer you an answer you're really looking for.
