Function `std.regex.match`

Start matching input to regex pattern re, using Thompson NFA matching scheme.


						
				auto auto match(R, RegEx)
				(
				

				  R input,
				

				  RegEx re
				

				)
				

				if (isSomeString!R && isRegexFor!(RegEx, R));
				

				

				auto auto match(R, String)
				(
				

				  R input,
				

				  String re
				

				)
				

				if (isSomeString!R && isSomeString!String);

The use of this function is discouraged - use either of matchAll or matchFirst.

Delegating the kind of operation to "g" flag is soon to be phased out along with the ability to choose the exact matching scheme. The choice of matching scheme to use depends highly on the pattern kind and can done automatically on case by case basis.

Returns

a RegexMatch object holding engine state after first match.
