NAME¶
Regex::compile - Compile a regular expression
SYNOPSIS¶
Regex compile( String pattern, [REFlags] fl=createArray(1)
)
ARGUMENTS¶
pattern The regular expression pattern to compile
fl A list of
Regex.REFlags (3kaya) options for the regular
expression. This parameter is optional and defaults to the empty list.
DESCRIPTION¶
Compile a regular expression and return the compiled
Regex.Regex (3kaya)
This can then be re-used in several function calls for greater efficiency.
Note that if a literal backslash needs to be matched, it must be written as
"\\\\" as both Kaya and PCRE will interpret one layer of
backslashes. You can avoid this from Kaya 0.2.6 onwards by using a raw string
instead.

-
// these two are equivalent
test1 = quickMatch("\\\\",string);
test2 = quickMatch(R"\\",string);
