MatchInfo

expandReferences string expandReferences(string stringToExpand): 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 Regex.replace.
fetch string fetch(int matchNum): 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.
fetchAll string[] fetchAll(): 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.
fetchNamed string fetchNamed(string name): Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named name.
fetchNamedPos bool fetchNamedPos(string name, int startPos, int endPos): Retrieves the position in bytes of the capturing parentheses named name.
fetchPos bool fetchPos(int matchNum, int startPos, int endPos): Retrieves the position in bytes of 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.
free void free(): If match_info is not NULL, calls MatchInfo.unref; otherwise does nothing.
getMatchCount int getMatchCount(): 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.
getMatchInfoStruct GMatchInfo* getMatchInfoStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getRegex Regex getRegex(): Returns vte.Regex object used in match_info. It belongs to Glib and must not be freed. Use Regex.ref if you need to keep it after you free match_info object.
getString string getString(): Returns the string searched with match_info. This is the string passed to Regex.match or Regex.replace so you may not free it before calling this function.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
isPartialMatch bool isPartialMatch(): 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.
matches bool matches(): Returns whether the previous match operation succeeded.
next bool next(): Scans for the next match using the same parameters of the previous call to Regex.matchFull or Regex.match that returned match_info.
ref_ MatchInfo ref_(): Increases reference count of match_info by 1.
unref void unref(): 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.
