[regexp->forEachMatch]

Description

The [regexp->forEachMatch] method allows you to iterate over each match in your regular expression to do complex replacements. It also automatically calls the [regexp->appendTail] at the end that is easy to forget.

Sample Usage

local(matcher) = regexp(-find=`(?i)[aeiou]`, -input='Whoa, this is heavy!')
#matcher->forEachMatch => {
    #1->appendReplacement(string_upperCase(#1->matchString(0)))
}
#matcher->output
// Outputs: WhOA, thIs Is hEAvy!


local(no_vowels) = regexp(-find=`(?i)[aeiou]`, -input='Lager, sir, is regal')->forEachMatch => {
    #1->appendReplacement('_')
}&output
// #no_vowels no the following string: 'L_g_r, s_r, _s r_g_l'
