findAll
findAll(text: String; pattern: String; ignoreCase: Boolean; explicitCapture: Boolean; matches: JadeRegexResult io): Integer;
The findAll method of the JadeRegex class searches the entire specified text looking for all occurrences of the specified pattern. Any matches that are found are collated into a JadeRegexResult object. If the value of the matches parameter is not null, it populates the existing JadeRegexResult object; otherwise it creates a new JadeRegexResult object. This method returns the number of matches that are found, or it returns zero (0) if none are found.
The findAll method parameters are described in the following table.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
text | Text string within which to find a match. |
pattern | Regex pattern string. |
ignoreCase | Specifies whether matching is case-sensitive. |
explicitCapture | Specifies whether to generate JadeRegexCapture objects for each sub‑match if your pattern contains capture groups. |
matches | JadeRegexResult contains zero (0) or more matches that are found. (Although you do not need to create this object, it will be used to store the matches if you do.) |
The following is an example of a findAll type method.
findAllExample(); constants Text = "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"; PatternStr = "\b[\w]{3,4}\b"; vars matches : JadeRegexResult; match : JadeRegexMatch; i : Integer; begin JadeRegex@findAll(Text, PatternStr, true, false, matches); foreach i in 1 to matches.numMatches do match := matches.at(i); write match.value; endforeach; /* writes: the fox over the lazy dog */ epilog delete matches; end;
