let string = "\" RegExp to match quotes \"
' Supports escapin\\' '
\" This is selected \\\\\" this is not
' Works with JS RegExp '
\"You can also get the quote type used\"
\"How it works\"
\"------------\"
' ([\"\\']) Matches a \" or a \\' and stores it in \\1'
' ( starts \\2'
' (?: starts a non-capturing group'
' (?=(?:\\\\)*) Will check if there is an odd amount of \\ '
' \\\\. will escape / ignore it '
' |. will never mind it if there\\'s an even amount '
' )*? will close the non-capturing group and repeat it'
' \\1 will make it close with the quote selected in \\1'
\"Flags:\"
\"------\"
\" g: global, selects multiple times \"";
// result will be an iterator over tuples containing the start and end indices for each match in the string
let result = regex.captures_iter(string);
for mat in result {
println!("{:?}", mat);
}
}
