Interface QueryMode

public interface QueryMode

QueryMode is a way of defining how the matching of values take place in DicomDir.query

See Also:

DicomDir.query(QueryTag, QueryMode, String)

Field Summary

static QueryMode	CASE_INSENSITIVE Case sensitive string matching examples: "John Doe" matches "John Doe" "john doe" matches "John Doe" "Johnny Doe" does not match "John Doe" "John" does not match "John Doe"
static QueryMode	CASE_INSENSITIVE_SUBSTRING Case sensitive substring matching examples: "John" matches "John Doe" "doe" matches "John Doe" "Johnny Doe" does not match "John Doe"
static QueryMode	CASE_SENSITIVE_SUBSTRING Case sensitive substring matching examples: "John" matches "John Doe" "Doe" matches "John Doe" "doe" does not match "John Doe"
static QueryMode	EMPTY Empty string matching: only matches 'null' or an empty string
static QueryMode	EXACT Exact string matching: only matches when the search pattern is exactly the same as the value
static QueryMode	NOT_EMPTY Non-Empty string matching: matches everything but 'null' or an empty string
static QueryMode	REGEX_FULL Regular expression matching (full pattern) examples: "[\w ]+" matches "John Doe" "John.*" matches "John Doe" "John" does not match "John Doe" "[\w]{4}" does not match "John Doe"
static QueryMode	REGEX_SUBSTRING Regular expression matching (substring) examples: "[\w ]+" matches "John Doe" "John" matches "John Doe" "\d+" does not match "John Doe"
