[Wishlist] match() function to turn results of regexp groups into an array #37

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be nice if I could do the following:

// value = July 2010 Something Something Something AVZCX

value.match(/([a-zA-Z]+) ([0-9]{4}) (.*) ([A-Z]+)/)

and get an array 

['July','2010','Something Something Something','AVZCX']

Obviously this is a trivial example, but I think it will have its uses.

I've added a match() GEL function that returns an array of strings with the 
capturing groups of the regexp. Now all 
we need is a way to turn the returned GEL arrays into columns (which is Issue 
36)

This was actually already implemented as specified in the issue so I'm closing 
it
