Class Methods

m

static method m : Regex::Match ($string_or_buffer : object of string|StringBuffer, $pattern_and_flags : object of string|string[], $offset_ref : int* = undef, $length : int = -1);

Calls Regex#new method given $pattern_and_flags. $pattern_and_flags is a pattern string or a string array that contains a pattern and flags.

And the returned Regex object calls Regex#match method given $string_or_buffer, $offset_ref, $offset_ref, $length, and returns its return value.

The Regex object is cached.

s

static method s : Regex::ReplaceInfo ($string_ref_or_buffer : object of string[]|StringBuffer, $pattern_and_flags : object of string|string[], $replace : object of string|Regex::Replacer, $offset_ref : int* = undef, $length : int = -1);

Calls Regex#new method given $pattern_and_flags. $pattern_and_flags is a pattern string or a string array that contains a pattern and flags.

And the returned Regex object calls Regex#replace method given $string_ref_or_buffer, $offset_ref, $offset_ref, $length, and returns its return value.

The flags in $pattern_and_flags can contains "g" to Regex#replace_g method instead of Regex#replace method.

The Regex object is cached.

Exceptions:
