Subject: inequality operator semantics
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:25:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E43CA51.4020400@dresearch-fe.de> (raw)

Just a short question about the semantics of the != operator in conjunction with e.g. DRIVERS.

Does

  DRIVERS!="xyz"

mean DRIVER for *all* parents is not equal to "xyz", or that there is *at least* one parent with this condition?

Does this semantics had changed over the time?

Regards,
Steffen Sledz
