RESCRIPT
// Match the first two words separated by a space
let regexp = RegExp.fromString("(\\w+) (\\w+)")

switch regexp->RegExp.exec("ReScript is pretty cool, right?") {
| None => Console.log("Nope, no match...")
| Some(result) => Console.log(result->RegExp.Result.fullMatch) // Prints the full string that matched, "ReScript is"
}

matches(regExpResult) returns all matches for regExpResult.

Examples

RESCRIPT
// Match the first two words separated by a space
let regexp = RegExp.fromString("(\\w+) (\\w+)")

switch regexp->RegExp.exec("ReScript is pretty cool, right?") {
| None => Console.log("Nope, no match...")
| Some(result) => switch result->RegExp.Result.matches {
  | [firstWord, secondWord] => Console.log2(firstWord, secondWord)
  | _ => Console.log("Didn't find exactly two words...")
  }
}
