AltocumulusDifference between matches, equals and matches_regex
How does the matches operator differ from the equals operator, and where is this documented?
Well, as far as documentation, the different operators are documented here: Click here in the Wiki.
matches_regex compares a string against a regular expression, rather than just against another string, which clearly sets it apart from the others.
matches tries to match one string to another, but isn't necessarily a character by character comparison, like equals is, which is pretty self explanitory.
