matchSimple
fun matchSimple(pattern: String, string: String, compileOptions: RegexCompileFlags, matchOptions: RegexMatchFlags): Boolean
Scans for a match in @string for @pattern.
This function is equivalent to g_regex_match() but it does not require to compile the pattern with g_regex_new(), avoiding some lines of code when you need just to do a match without extracting substrings, capture counts, and so on.
If this function is to be called on the same @pattern more than once, it's more efficient to compile the pattern once with g_regex_new() and then use g_regex_match().
Return
true if the string matched, false otherwise
