SYNOPSIS #include int regexp_package() DESCRIPTION Return which regexp package is used by default: RE_TRADITIONAL: traditional regexps RE_PCRE: PCRE As the package can be selected at runtime through the REGEXP_PACKAGE driver hook, there is no good way to determine the package at LPC compile time. Match the pattern (interpreted according to if given) against all strings in list, and return a new array with all strings that matched. If there is an error in the regular expression, a runtime error will be raised. EXAMPLE string strs; string pattern; if (regexp_package() == RE_PCRE) pattern = "\\.*\\"; else pattern = "\\bhelp\\b.*\\bme\\b"; if (strs = regexp( ({"please, help me Sir John."}), , pattern )) { if (sizeof(strs) write("It matches.\n"); } The regular expression will test the given string (which is packed into an array) if there is something like "help ... me" inside of it.
