Package Exports

@rbxts/regexp
@rbxts/regexp/src/init.lua

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@rbxts/regexp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

A regular expression library for Luau. Adapted from a regex implementation by github user Blockzez (https://github.com/Blockzez).

The Match object resulting from exec has the following fields:

[1..n] - The array potion of the Match object contains captured groups
n - The length of the array of resulting captured groups
index - The index in the original string where the match begins
input - The original string passed into exec

Flags

The following flags can be provided via the second argument to RegExp.new:

"i" - ignoreCase
"g" - global
