regex(string [, regex] [, /nocase])
[regex_h]
Matches the string
against the regular
expression regex
. If the text does not match, then
0
is returned. If the text does match, and if the regular
expression does not contain parenthesized subexpressions, then the
matched part of the text is returned. If the text does match and the
regular expression contains parenthesized subexpressions, then a
string array is returned with element 0 equal to the part of the text
that matches the whole regular expression, and following elements
equal to the parts of the text that match each next parenthesized
subexpression (as defined by the opening parenthesis). If
regex
is not specified, then the regular expression that
was specified most recently is used.
