MatchInfo

Compare two proxy instances for equality. This will compare both the type of the instances, and their memory addresses.

Returns a new string containing the text in @string_to_expand with references and escape sequences expanded. References refer to the last match done with @string against @regex and have the same syntax used by g_regex_replace().

Retrieves the text matching the @match_num'th capturing parentheses. 0 is the full text of the match, 1 is the first paren set, 2 the second, and so on.

Bundles up pointers to each of the matching substrings from a match and stores them in an array of gchar pointers. The first element in the returned array is the match number 0, i.e. the entire matched text.

Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named @name.

If @match_info is not null, calls g_match_info_unref(); otherwise does nothing.

Retrieves the number of matched substrings (including substring 0, that is the whole matched text), so 1 is returned if the pattern has no substrings in it and 0 is returned if the match failed.

Returns #GRegex object used in @match_info. It belongs to Glib and must not be freed. Use g_regex_ref() if you need to keep it after you free @match_info object.

Returns the string searched with @match_info. This is the string passed to g_regex_match() or g_regex_replace() so you may not free it before calling this function.

Usually if the string passed to g_regex_match*() matches as far as it goes, but is too short to match the entire pattern, false is returned. There are circumstances where it might be helpful to distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no match.

Returns whether the previous match operation succeeded.

Scans for the next match using the same parameters of the previous call to g_regex_match_full() or g_regex_match() that returned

Increases reference count of @match_info by 1.

Decreases reference count of @match_info by 1. When reference count drops to zero, it frees all the memory associated with the match_info structure.
