Current Features and Metacharacters

Character | Example | Description ----------|----------------------|----------------- `[]` | `[abc]` | Character set `[^]` | `[^abc]` | Inverted character set `[x-y]` | `[A-Z]` | Character range `()` | `(ab)` | Group `.` | `.` | Wildcard `|` | `(a|b)` | Or `^` | `^abc` | Beginning of string `$` | `xyz$` | End of string `?` | `ab?` | Zero or one of the preceding token `*` | `ab*` | Zero or more of the preceding token `+` | `ab+` | One or more of the preceding token `` | `+` | Escape following character

If you need help creating your regex pattern, we recommend using RegExr.

*Not all features from RegExr are supported in our library, see table above.*

Getting Started

This library uses a simple api. The string to match is given in `target`, and the regex to match with is set in `pattern`. These are set in the storage, `regex:api/match`

To run the match, run `function regex:api/match`.

Example

``` data modify storage regex:api/match target set value "Hello, World!" data modify storage regex:api/match pattern set value "[A-Za-z]+" function regex:api/match ``` ``` { success: 1b, output: ["H","e","l","l","o"] } ```
