stringMatch method - RegExp class - dart:core library (original) (raw)

stringMatch abstract method

String? stringMatch(

1. String input )

Finds the string of the first match of this regular expression in input.

Searches for a match for this regular expression in input, just like firstMatch, but returns only the matched substring if a match is found, not a RegExpMatch.

var string = 'Dash is a bird';
var regExp = RegExp(r'(humming)?bird');
var match = regExp.stringMatch(string); // Match

regExp = RegExp(r'dog');
match = regExp.stringMatch(string); // No match

Implementation

String? stringMatch(String input);
