compile

compile(pattern: String);

The compile method of the JadeRegexPattern class compiles the string specified in the pattern parameter, as shown in the following example.

compileExample();
constants
    Text = "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog";
    // match 9 words with optional space on the end in non‑capturing group
    PatternStr = "(?>\w+\s?){9}";
vars
    pattern : JadeRegexPattern;
begin
    create pattern;
    pattern.setAnchored(true)
           .compile(PatternStr);
    write pattern.isMatch(Text); // true
end;

If you want to tailor the interpretation of the pattern, the following JadeRegexPattern fluent methods should be called before the compile method in order to be compiled with the pattern.

• setDuplicateNames

• setAnchored

• setDotAll

• setIgnoreCase

• setLiteral

• setMultiline

• setUngreedy

• setUnicodeECMAScriptDialect
