NAME

6       Regex::matchOnly - Attempt to match a regular expression.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Match matchOnly( Regex x, String str )
10

ARGUMENTS

12       x A compiled regular expression
13
14       str The String to match
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Attempt to match a compiled regular expression to a string, returning a
18       Regex.Match (3kaya) object.
19
20
21    r = compile("s$");
22    s1 = "sausages";
23    m1 = match(r,s1); // matches(["s"],"sausage","")
24    s2 = "a sausage";
25    m2 = match(r,s2); // noMatch
26
27       This will only return the match  in  the  match  object,  and  not  the
28       strings  before and after the match - this is more efficient because it
29       does not need to construct new strings.
30
31       str may be a Tainted string, and the strings in the Match  object  will
32       not be tainted.
