string lib: pattern matching (pcre regex) #22

Open giann opened 2 years ago

[X] Pattern new type: pat pattern = _^hello$_;
[ ] Allow pattern initialization with a string pat pattern = "^with a string$";

pat methods are:

[X] pattern.match(str subject) > [str]: Returns the first match and eventual captures
[X] pattern.matchAll(str subject) > [[str]]: Returns all matches and captures
[x] pattern.replace(str subject, str replacement) > str: Replaces first match with replacement
[x] pattern.replaceAll(str subject, str replacement) > str: Replaces all matches with replacement
[ ] handle named capture

str methods:

[ ] string.match(pat pattern) > [str]: same as pattern.match
[ ] string.matchAll(pat pattern) > [str]: same as pattern.matchAll
[ ] string.replace(pat pattern) > [str]: same as pattern.replace
[ ] string.replaceAll(pat pattern) > [str]: same as pattern.replaceAll
[ ] When #54 is done, string.match and pattern.match should return iterators.
