@deftypefnx {} {[@dots{}] =} regexp (@var{str}, @var{pat}, "@var{opt1}", @dots{})
Regular expression string matching.
 
Search for @var{pat} in UTF-8 encoded @var{str} and return the positions and
substrings of any matches, or empty values if there are none.
 
The matched pattern @var{pat} can include any of the standard regex
operators, including:
 
@table @code
@item .
Match any character
 
@item * + ? @{@}
Repetition operators, representing
 
@table @code
@item *
Match zero or more times
 
@item +
Match one or more times
 
@item ?
Match zero or one times
 
@item @{@var{n}@}
Match exactly @var{n} times
 
@item @{@var{n},@}
Match @var{n} or more times
 
@item @{@var{m},@var{n}@}
Match between @var{m} and @var{n} times
@end table
 
@item [@dots{}] [^@dots{}]
 
List operators.  The pattern will match any character listed between
@qcode{"["} and @qcode{"]"}.  If the first character is @qcode{"^"} then the
pattern is inverted and any character except those listed between brackets
will match.
 
Escape sequences defined below can also be used inside list operators.  For
example, a template for a floating point number might be @code{[-+.\d]+}.
 
@item () (?:)
Grouping operator.  The first form, parentheses only, also creates a token.
 
@item |
Alternation operator.  Match one of a choice of regular expressions.  The
alternatives must be delimited by the grouping operator @code{()} above.
 
@item ^ $
Anchoring operators.  Requires pattern to occur at the start (@code{^}) or
end (@code{$}) of the string.
@end table
 
In addition, the following escaped characters have special meaning.
 
@table @code
 
@item \d
Match any digit
 
@item \D
Match any non-digit
 
@item \s
Match any whitespace character
 
@item \S
Match any non-whitespace character
 
@item \w
Match any word character
 
@item \W
Match any non-word character
 
@item <
Match the beginning of a word
 
@item >
Match the end of a word
 
@item \B
Match within a word
@end table
 
Implementation Note: For compatibility with @sc{matlab}, escape sequences
in @var{pat} (e.g., @qcode{"@backslashchar{}n"} => newline) are expanded
even when @var{pat} has been defined with single quotes.  To disable
expansion use a second backslash before the escape sequence (e.g.,
"@backslashchar{}@backslashchar{}n") or use the @code{regexptranslate}
function.
 
The outputs of @code{regexp} default to the order given below
 
@table @var
@item s
The start indices of each matching substring
 
@item e
The end indices of each matching substring
 
@item te
The extents of each matched token surrounded by @code{(@dots{})} in
@var{pat}
 
@item m
A cell array of the text of each match
 
@item t
A cell array of the text of each token matched
 
@item nm
A structure containing the text of each matched named token, with the name
being used as the fieldname.  A named token is denoted by
@code{(?<name>@dots{})}.
 
@item sp
A cell array of the text not returned by match, i.e., what remains if you
split the string based on @var{pat}.
@end table
 
Particular output arguments, or the order of the output arguments, can be
selected by additional @var{opt} arguments.  These are strings and the
correspondence between the output arguments and the optional argument
are
 
@multitable @columnfractions 0.2 0.3 0.3 0.2
@item @tab @qcode{'start'}        @tab @var{s}  @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'end'}          @tab @var{e}  @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'tokenExtents'} @tab @var{te} @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'match'}        @tab @var{m}  @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'tokens'}       @tab @var{t}  @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'names'}        @tab @var{nm} @tab
@item @tab @qcode{'split'}        @tab @var{sp} @tab
@end multitable
 
Additional arguments are summarized below.
 
@table @samp
@item once
Return only the first occurrence of the pattern.
 
@item matchcase
Make the matching case sensitive.  (default)
 
Alternatively, use (?-i) in the pattern.
 
@item ignorecase
Ignore case when matching the pattern to the string.
 
Alternatively, use (?i) in the pattern.
 
@item stringanchors
Match the anchor characters at the beginning and end of the string.
(default)
 
Alternatively, use (?-m) in the pattern.
 
@item lineanchors
Match the anchor characters at the beginning and end of the line.
 
Alternatively, use (?m) in the pattern.
 
@item dotall
The pattern @code{.} matches all characters including the newline character.
 (default)
 
Alternatively, use (?s) in the pattern.
 
@item dotexceptnewline
The pattern @code{.} matches all characters except the newline character.
 
Alternatively, use (?-s) in the pattern.
 
@item literalspacing
All characters in the pattern, including whitespace, are significant and are
used in pattern matching.  (default)
 
Alternatively, use (?-x) in the pattern.
 
@item freespacing
The pattern may include arbitrary whitespace and also comments beginning
with the character @samp{#}.
 
Alternatively, use (?x) in the pattern.
 
@item noemptymatch
Zero-length matches are not returned.  (default)
 
@item emptymatch
Return zero-length matches.
 
@code{regexp ('a', 'b*', 'emptymatch')} returns @code{[1 2]} because there
are zero or more @qcode{'b'} characters at positions 1 and end-of-string.
 
@end table
 
Stack Limitation Note: Pattern searches are done with a recursive function
which can overflow the program stack when there are a high number of matches.
For example,
 
@example
@code{regexp (repmat ('a', 1, 1e5), '(a)+')}
@end example
 
@noindent
may lead to a segfault.  As an alternative, consider constructing pattern
searches that reduce the number of matches (e.g., by creatively using set
complement), and then further processing the return variables (now reduced in
size) with successive @code{regexp} searches.

Replace occurrences of pattern @var{pat} in @var{string} with @var{repstr}.
 
The pattern is a regular expression as documented for @code{regexp}.
@xref{XREFregexp,,@code{regexp}}.
 
All strings must be UTF-8 encoded.
 
The replacement string may contain @code{$i}, which substitutes for the ith
set of parentheses in the match string.  For example,
 
@example
regexprep ("Bill Dunn", '(\w+) (\w+)', '$2, $1')
@end example
 
@noindent
returns @qcode{"Dunn, Bill"}
 
Options in addition to those of @code{regexp} are
 
@table @samp
 
@item once
Replace only the first occurrence of @var{pat} in the result.
 
@item warnings
This option is present for compatibility but is ignored.
 
@end table
 
Implementation Note: For compatibility with @sc{matlab}, escape sequences
in @var{pat} (e.g., @qcode{"@backslashchar{}n"} => newline) are expanded
even when @var{pat} has been defined with single quotes.  To disable
expansion use a second backslash before the escape sequence (e.g.,
"@backslashchar{}@backslashchar{}n") or use the @code{regexptranslate}
function.
