Pattern matching

Regular expressions and text scanning

Example

use text\regex\Pattern;

$pattern= Pattern::compile('([w]{3}\.)?example\.(com|net|org)');
if ($pattern->matches($input)) {
  // Looks like an example domain
}

$result= $pattern->match($input);
$group= $result->group(0);  // [ "www.example.com", "www.", "www", "com" ]
