Methods¶
| int | get_end ( Variant name=0 ) const |
| int | get_group_count ( ) const |
| int | get_start ( Variant name=0 ) const |
| String | get_string ( Variant name=0 ) const |
Property Descriptions¶
- Dictionary names
| Default | {} |
| Getter | get_names() |
A dictionary of named groups and its corresponding group number. Only groups with that were matched are included. If multiple groups have the same name, that name would refer to the first matching one.
- Array strings
| Default | [ ] |
| Getter | get_strings() |
An Array of the match and its capturing groups.
- String subject
| Default | "" |
| Getter | get_subject() |
The source string used with the search pattern to find this matching result.
Method Descriptions¶
Returns the end position of the match within the source string. The end position of capturing groups can be retrieved by providing its group number as an integer or its string name (if it’s a named group). The default value of 0 refers to the whole pattern.
Returns -1 if the group did not match or doesn’t exist.
- int get_group_count ( ) const
Returns the number of capturing groups.
Returns the starting position of the match within the source string. The starting position of capturing groups can be retrieved by providing its group number as an integer or its string name (if it’s a named group). The default value of 0 refers to the whole pattern.
Returns -1 if the group did not match or doesn’t exist.
Returns the substring of the match from the source string. Capturing groups can be retrieved by providing its group number as an integer or its string name (if it’s a named group). The default value of 0 refers to the whole pattern.
Returns an empty string if the group did not match or doesn’t exist.
