Method RegEx():matchAll()

Finds all matches.

:matchAll( <cSubject>, [<nLimit>] ) --> aMatches

The subject string to search.

The maximum number of matches to return. This defaults to 10000.

An array with information about the matches. If no match is found, return is an empty array ({}).

Each array element contains a sub-array with information about a match result. The structure of these sub-arrays is identical to that returned by the method :match(). See there for a detailed description. Also see the helper methods :getMatchText(), :getMatchPos() and :getMatchRange() and the example below for more information on processing the array returned by :matchAll().

Returns an array containing detailed information about all non-overlapping matches of the pattern in the subject string.

Match all

oRegEx := RegEx():create("\d+") 
aMatches := oRegEx:matchAll("10 cats, 20 dogs, 30 birds") 

FOR nMatch := 1 TO Len(aMatches) 
aMatch := aMatches[nMatch] 
? RegEx():getMatchText(aMatch)  // "10", "20", "30" 
NEXT 

oRegEx:destroy()
