`regex` module

ECMAScript-flavored regular expressions (powered by std::regex). Use for matching, capturing, replacement, and splitting.

import "regex" as regex;

print(regex.test("\\d+", "hello 42"));           // true
print(regex.match("(\\w+)@(\\w+)", "[email protected]"));// ["[email protected]", "ada", "a"]
print(regex.replace("\\s+", "two  spaces", "_"));// "two_spaces"
print(regex.split(",\\s*", "a, b,c"));            // ["a", "b", "c"]

API

Function	Description
`regex.test(pattern, s)` → bool	True if `pattern` matches anywhere in `s`.
`regex.match(pattern, s)` → list \| null	First match as `[full, group1, group2, ...]`, or `null`.
`regex.match_all(pattern, s)` → list of lists	Every match.
`regex.replace(pattern, s, replacement)` → string	Replace first match. Use `\1`, `\2` in replacement to reference capture groups.
`regex.replace_all(pattern, s, replacement)` → string	Replace every match.
`regex.split(pattern, s)` → list	Split on each match.
`regex.escape(s)` → string	Escape regex metacharacters so the result matches `s` literally.

Notes

Patterns are strings — escape backslashes when needed ("\\d" for \d).
Bnlang has no regex literal syntax (no /foo/g). All flags are baked into the pattern (e.g. (?i) for case-insensitive).
