System.Text.Regex Parameters

The API shows the following:

regexVar = System.Text.Regex(pattern, options)

I figured out that pattern is a string variable, but what type is options, and what values can it take?

Also it would help if the API had type prefixes for function arguments as well...

For Example, these 2 functions:

matchVar = regexVar.Match(theInput)
strVar = strVar.Left(Count)

should be written as:

matchVar = regexVar.Match(strTheInput)
strVar = strVar.Left(intCount)


This would help clarify what argument types the functions take.

The help file is updated accroding to your suggestion, thanks.

// example for System.Text.Regex
// regex options is a string, it can contain options:
//   s: single line
//   m: multiple line
//   i: case insensitive
//   x: ignore white space in pattern

var regex = system.text.regex(pattern, 'si');
var match = regex.match(strInput);
var output = '';

while match.success do
 
  output ~= match.unmatchedValue;
 
  //var matchedValue = match.value;
  var id = match.groupByName('id').value;

  ... ...

  match.nextMatch();
end while

output ~= match.unmatchedValue();

// end example
