$regml returns the Nth backreference from a regex match.
If you use the /g modifier with an expression containing two backreferences and there are three matches, $regml(0) will return 6, it's a list of all backref accross all matches.
Synopsis[edit]
$regml([name], N, [&binvar])
Parameters[edit]
- name - The optional name given to the regex match
- N - The Nth backreference, if N is 0, returns the total number of backreference/capturing group
- &binvar - If you pass a binvar as the last parameter, the result is copied to that binvar and $regml() returns the length of the capture
Properties[edit]
- .pos - returns the starting position of the backrefence
- .bytepos - returns the UTF-8 byte positions matched within a string.
- .group - returns the () group number for a match
- .match - returns the match number in the case of a /g global match that returns multiple matches.
