regex_match_all

Syntax

native Regex:regex_match_all(const string[], const pattern[], flags = 0, error[]= "", maxLen = 0, &errcode = 0);

Usage

The string to check.

The regular expression pattern.

General flags for the regular expression, see PCRE_* defines.

Error message encountered, if applicable.

Maximum string length of the error buffer.

Regex type error code encountered, if applicable. See REGEX_ERROR_* defines.

Description

Matches a string against a regular expression pattern, matching all occurrences of the
pattern inside the string. This is similar to using the "g" flag in perl regex.

Note

• If you intend on using the same regular expression pattern
  multiple times, consider using regex_compile and regex_match_ex
  instead of making this function reparse the expression each time.

• Flags only exist in amxmodx 1.8 and later.

• You should free the returned handle with regex_free()
  when you are done extracting all of the substrings.

Return

-2 = Matching error (error code is stored in ret)
-1 = Error in pattern (error message and offset # in error and ret)
0 = No match.
>1 = Handle for getting more information (via regex_substr)
