Regex:MatchMany

Returns every non-overlapping match in text.

Syntax

Regex:MatchMany(text: string) -> table

Parameters

Returns

Description

Regex:MatchMany is part of the Regex library. Regex wraps a compiled pattern object. Matching and replacement follow the module's regex engine rather than Lua patterns.

The call is read-only: it resolves the current value when invoked and does not change the underlying state.

Example

local re = Regex.new("(%a+)")
for _, match in ipairs(re:MatchMany("hello world")) do
    print(match)
end

Notes

• Regex patterns use the module's engine; refer to its flag syntax rather than Lua patterns.
