Getting Started
This library uses a simple api. The string to match is given in target
,
and the regex to match with is set in pattern
. These are set in the storage,
regex:api/match
To run the match, run function regex:api/match
.
Example
data modify storage regex:api/match target set value "Hello, World!"
data modify storage regex:api/match pattern set value "[A-Za-z]+"
function regex:api/match
{
success: 1b,
output: ["H","e","l","l","o"]
}
