title: Mule MEL String comparision
body: <pre><code>&lt;logger message="id is===#[flowVars.fein.contains(flowVars.clientId)]===" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/&gt;
  &lt;logger message="compare id is===#[flowVars.fein.contains('12-345678')]===" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine for me i.e it verifies string comparision and returns the Boolean values. Now if my input contains values with appended |,(<code>eg:,12-345678|22-345678|33-345678</code>) how do I compare it?</p>
  
  <p>In Java it is : <code>new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(Arrays.asList(s.split("\\|"))).contains(inputValues);</code> which will return the true/false.</p>
