Regular expressions are a way to define patterns of text to be searched. + This class only finds patterns in a string.

This method tries to convert the string given to an usable regular expression. + The position within the string (starting with 0) where the pattern was found. It will return -1 if the pattern was not found, it was invalid, or the start or end positions were beyond the string's end. + The text to search the pattern in. + The position in the string (starting with 0) to start searching from. + The position in the string (starting with 0) to stop searching. A value less than the start position means "end of the string". + This method tries to find the pattern within the string, and returns the position where it was found. It also stores any capturing group (see [method get_capture]) for further retrieval. + This method resets the state of the object, as it was freshly created. Namely, it unassigns the regular expression of this object, and forgets all captures made by the last [method find]. + Returns whether this object has a valid regular expression assigned. + Returns the number of capturing groups. A captured group is the part of a string that matches a part of the pattern delimited by parentheses (unless they are non-capturing parentheses [i](?:)[/i]). + The number of the captured group, starting with 0.
