Method RegEx():create()

Creates a new RegEx instance.

:create( <cPattern>, [<nOptions>] ) --> oRegEx

A string with the regular expression pattern.

Optional PCRE compilation options specified as a bitmask. Refer to the method :setOptions() for a list of the supported options.

A RegEx object.

Creates and initializes a new RegEx object with a pattern and optional compilation options. The pattern is not compiled immediately but will be auto-compiled on first use. If this lazy compilation approach is not desired, the :precompile() method can be used to compile the pattern at a defined point in time. The :optimize() method can be used to improve the speed of pattern execution.

Create with pattern

oRegEx := RegEx():create("[A-Z][a-z]+") 
// Use oRegEx 
oRegEx:destroy()
