Utf8.gmatch

From GiderosMobile

Available since: Gideros 2016.06
Class: utf8

Description

Returns an iterator function that, each time it is called, returns the next captures from pattern over the string s.

(function) = utf8.gmatch(s,pattern)

If pattern specifies no captures, then the whole match is produced in each call.

For this function, a caret '^' at the start of a pattern does not work as an anchor, as this would prevent the iteration.

Parameters

s: (string)
pattern: (string)

Return values

Returns (function) iterator function
