strmatch <target string> <string with regular expression>
Supports Oniguruma Regular Expressions.
This command searches the <target string> with the <string with regular expression>.
The "strmatch" command returns one of the following values in the system variable "result":
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Not matched. |
| 1 | Matched offset(1origin). |
The first matched pattern is stored in the system variable "matchstr".
Group matched patterns of regular expressions are stored in 9 system variables from "groupmatchstr1" to "groupmatchstr9".
Also, these system variables will not be changed when the pattern does not match.
When a user searches the multi-byte string like as Japanese, the user must configure the regular encoding by using the regexoption previously.
