cs .regex()

Description:

Attach the action of matching the regular expression to a cursor and return the original cursor.

Syntax:

cs.regex(rs,Fi,…)

Note:

The function attaches a computation to cursor cs, which matches the string members in cursor cs with regular expression rs, forms a table sequence consisting of Fi fields and returns it to the original cursor cs. It supports multicursors.

 

This is a delayed function.

Parameter:

cs

A cursor whose members are strings

rs

Regular expression

Fi

Resulting field name

Option:

@c

Case insensitive

@u

Use Unicode to match

Return value:

Cursor

"7,Alexis","8,Megan","9,Victoria","10,Ryan"]

 

2

=A1.cursor()

Return a cursor.

3

=A2.regex("(.*),(A.*)";id,name)

Attach a computation to cursor A2, which will match members starting with A after the comma and return the original cursor A2; the computation is by default case sensitive.

4

=A2.fetch()

Fetch data from cursor A2 where A3’s computation is executed:

 

Use @c option to enable a case-insensitive computation:

 

A

 

1

["1,Rebecca","2,ashley","3,Rachel","4,Emily","5,Ashley","6,Matthew",

"7,Alexis","8,Megan","9,Victoria","10,Ryan"]

 

2

=A1.cursor()

Return a cursor.

3

=A2.regex@c("(.*),(A.*)";id,name)

Attach a computation to cursor A2, which will match members starting with A or a after the comma and return the original cursor A2; @c option works to enable a case-insensitive computation.

4

=A2.fetch()

Fetch data from cursor A2 where A3’s computation is executed:

 

When @u option works:
