combining regular and logical expressions

[stefan.schnitter@…]

As I was pointed out on the list it is possible to combine regular and logical 
expressions in the following way:

FILTER (('[NODE]' =~ /%mynodefilter%/) AND ('[CITY]' =~ /%mycityfilter%/))

The docs do not mention this. The Class/Expression docs state

 ... The following logical operators are supported : 
=,>,<,<=,>=,=,or,and,lt,gt,ge,le,eq,ne. As you might expect this level of 
complexity is slower to process.

I suggest adding the =~ operator here or explain it even a little further 
(that =~ can be used to combine logical and regular expressions)
I didn't try but I imagine that !~ also works (not matching operator).
Are there other undocumented operators?

Jeff - This bug got assigned to me but I think you may want to handle it.

Stefan,

Does the MapServer Expressions document
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions) cover these issues?

closing bug as i believe the stated doc covers this (​http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions).
