NAME regexp - match a regular expression SYNOPSIS string *regexp(string *array, string pattern) DESCRIPTION Returns an array containing all matches of `pattern' in the strings contained in `array'. The rules for this operation is somewhat hazy, I haven't had the energy to penetrate the rather large bulk of code that takes care of this so for now you'll have to read the source code for yourself if you're interested. However, it seems that the rules are the same as for UNIX `grep', but don't count on it until you have verified by testing.
