public class RegexpMatcher
extends org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<java.lang.Object>

Matcher implementation that can match any object against regexp Pattern. Any matched object is converted into a string using String.valueOf(Object) and then matched against the pattern specified at the construction. Therefore null value will be successfully matched against pattern string: "null".

Note: if matcher is required to match only strings, or non-null values - Matchers.allOf(Matcher...) might be used to combine it with additional predicates.
