10.3.1 Matching
Probably one of the most common uses for regular expressions is checking whether a string matches the specific pattern. The match
method of a regular expression object can be used to do that:
class Main {
static function main() {
var r = ~/world/;
var str = "hello world";
// true : 'world' was found in the string
trace(r.match(str));
trace(r.match("hello !")); // false
}
}
