All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter<String>
```
@Deprecated
public class RegexStringFilter
extends Object
implements Filter<String>
```
Deprecated.
See Filter

A filter which uses a regular expression to match Strings. Invalid regular expressions will match nothing.
Because regular expression matching is slow, and a common usage is to match some sort of relative file path, the regular expression is checked to see if it can be evaluated using much faster calls to String.endsWith(String).
