[[proc-match]]
==== match(string, Regex, start = 0, endpos = -1): RegexMatch
[[proc-find]]
==== find(string, Regex, start = 0, endpos = -1): RegexMatch
Tries to match the pattern, starting at start. This means that
`"foo".match(re"f") == true`, but `"foo".match(re"o") == false`.
Finds the given pattern in the string between the end and start positions.
`start` :: The start point at which to start matching. `|abc` is `0`; `a|bc`
is `1`
`endpos` :: The maximum index for a match; `-1` means the end of the string,
otherwise it's an exclusive upper bound.
[[proc-find]]
==== find(string, Regex, start = 0, endpos = -1): RegexMatch
[[proc-match]]
==== match(string, Regex, start = 0, endpos = -1): RegexMatch
Finds the given pattern in the string. Bounds work the same as for
link:#proc-match[`match(...)`], but instead of being anchored to the start of
the string, it can match at any point between `start` and `endpos`.
Like link:#proc-find[`find(...)`], but anchored to the start of the string.
This means that `"foo".match(re"f") == true`, but `"foo".match(re"o") ==
