$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.
