class EReg
Available on all platforms
The EReg class represents regular expressions.
While basic usage and patterns consistently work across platforms, some more complex operations may yield different results. This is a necessary trade- off to retain a certain level of performance.
EReg instances can be created by calling the constructor, or with the special syntax ~/pattern/modifier
EReg instances maintain an internal state, which is affected by several of its methods.
A detailed explanation of the supported operations is available at http://haxe.org/doc/cross/regexp
Instance Fields
function new(r:String, opt:String):Void
Creates a new regular expression with pattern r and modifiers opt.
This is equivalent to the shorthand syntax ~/r/opt
If r or opt are null, the result is unspecified.
function split(s:String):Array<String>
Splits String s at all substrings this EReg matches.
If a match is found at the start of s, the result contains a leading
empty String "" entry.
If a match is found at the end of s, the result contains a trailing
empty String "" entry.
If two matching substrings appear next to each other, the result contains the empty String "" between them.
By default, this method splits s into two parts at the first matched
substring. If the global g modifier is in place, s is split at each
matched substring.
If s is null, the result is unspecified.
