Regex:
Find all successive matches of this regular expression in the supplied text. Use it to extract repeated tokens from a document. Each result is the complete match rather than a separate capture-group record.
Luau
Regex:MatchMany(contents: string) -> {string}Parameters
Call this method with a Regex receiver. The colon supplies self implicitly; a dot call must pass the receiver explicitly.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
contents | string | Text to search. |
Returns
{string}An array of full matched substrings. No matches produce an empty array; capture groups are not returned separately.
Example
Luau
local digits = Regex.new("[0-9]+")
for _, match in ipairs(digits:MatchMany("a12 b34")) do
print(match) -- 12, then 34
end
