RegexMatcher.Start Method
| Explanation | Gets the leading index of the matched result. You can specify group to get the start index of the substring forward-referenced by a group of regular expression patterns. Groups are numbered from 1 to right, with group 0 representing the entire pattern. Regular expression patterns such as "(a) *" may match the empty string. In this case it returns -1 . However, if you specify 0 for the group number, 0 is returned. | |
