Method Regexp.SimpleRegexp()->create()


Method create

Regexp.SimpleRegexp Regexp.SimpleRegexp(string re)

Description

When create is called, the current regexp bound to this object is cleared. If a string is sent to create(), this string will be compiled to an internal representation of the regexp and bound to this object for laters calls to e.g. match or split. Calling create() without an argument can be used to free up a little memory after the regexp has been used.
