patternMatch Syntax

[moto3101]

Hello together,

I was wondering whether there exists a more specific documentation about which expressions are allowed in patternMatch() or uniPatternMatch().

Apart from "*" and "?", what about negations "^", explicit count {n} for the preceding character, etc. Either I am using these tokens incorrect, or they are not supported.

How would you, for example, write a pattern that detects whether a string is a float (and only a float) string (including negatives)?


Thanks in advance and with best regards,
moTo

Regular expressions can be used with the 'regexp*' functions (regexpIndex, regexpSplit, etc).

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately we are running 3.14 and those methods do not exist there, yet.
