A QRegularExpressionMatch object can be obtained by calling the QRegularExpression::match() function, or as a single result of a global match from a QRegularExpressionMatchIterator.
The success or the failure of a match attempt can be inspected by calling the hasMatch() function. QRegularExpressionMatch also reports a successful partial match through the hasPartialMatch() function.
In addition, QRegularExpressionMatch returns the substrings captured by the capturing groups in the pattern string. The implicit capturing group with index 0 captures the result of the whole match. The captured() function returns each substring captured, either by the capturing group's index or by its name:
QRegularExpression re("(\\d\\d) (?<name>\\w+)");
QRegularExpressionMatch match = re.match("23 Jordan");
if (match.hasMatch()) {
QString number = match.captured(1); // first == "23"
QString name = match.captured("name"); // name == "Jordan"
} For each captured substring it is possible to query its starting and ending offsets in the subject string by calling the capturedStart() and the capturedEnd() function, respectively. The length of each captured substring is available using the capturedLength() function.
The convenience function capturedTexts() will return all the captured substrings at once (including the substring matched by the entire pattern) in the order they have been captured by capturing groups; that is, captured(i) == capturedTexts().at(i).
You can retrieve the QRegularExpression object the subject string was matched against by calling the regularExpression() function; the match type and the match options are available as well by calling the matchType() and the matchOptions() respectively.
Please refer to the QRegularExpression documentation for more information about the Qt regular expression classes.

[since 6.1] QRegularExpressionMatch::QRegularExpressionMatch(QRegularExpressionMatch &&match)
Constructs a match result by moving the result from the given match.
Note that a moved-from QRegularExpressionMatch can only be destroyed or assigned to. The effect of calling other functions than the destructor or one of the assignment operators is undefined.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.
See also operator=().
Constructs a match result by copying the result of the given match.
See also operator=().
[since 5.1] QRegularExpressionMatch::QRegularExpressionMatch()
Constructs a valid, empty QRegularExpressionMatch object. The regular expression is set to a default-constructed one; the match type to QRegularExpression::NoMatch and the match options to QRegularExpression::NoMatchOption.
The object will report no match through the hasMatch() and the hasPartialMatch() member functions.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
Move-assigns the match result match to this object, and returns a reference to the result.
Note that a moved-from QRegularExpressionMatch can only be destroyed or assigned to. The effect of calling other functions than the destructor or one of the assignment operators is undefined.
Assigns the match result match to this object, and returns a reference to the copy.
Destroys the match result.
Returns the substring captured by the nth capturing group.
If the nth capturing group did not capture a string, or if there is no such capturing group, returns a null QString.
Note: The implicit capturing group number 0 captures the substring matched by the entire pattern.
See also capturedView(), lastCapturedIndex(), capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and QString::isNull().
Returns the substring captured by the capturing group named name.
If the named capturing group name did not capture a string, or if there is no capturing group named name, returns a null QString.
See also capturedView(), capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and QString::isNull().
[since 5.10] QString QRegularExpressionMatch::captured(QStringView name) const
Returns the substring captured by the capturing group named name.
If the named capturing group name did not capture a string, or if there is no capturing group named name, returns a null QString.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also capturedView(), capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and QString::isNull().
Returns the offset inside the subject string immediately after the ending position of the substring captured by the nth capturing group. If the nth capturing group did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
See also capturedStart(), capturedLength(), and captured().
Returns the offset inside the subject string immediately after the ending position of the substring captured by the capturing group named name. If the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
See also capturedStart(), capturedLength(), and captured().
[since 5.10] qsizetype QRegularExpressionMatch::capturedEnd(QStringView name) const
Returns the offset inside the subject string immediately after the ending position of the substring captured by the capturing group named name. If the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also capturedStart(), capturedLength(), and captured().
Returns the length of the substring captured by the nth capturing group.
Note: This function returns 0 if the nth capturing group did not capture a string or doesn't exist.
See also capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), and captured().
Returns the length of the substring captured by the capturing group named name.
Note: This function returns 0 if the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist.
See also capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), and captured().
[since 5.10] qsizetype QRegularExpressionMatch::capturedLength(QStringView name) const
Returns the length of the substring captured by the capturing group named name.
Note: This function returns 0 if the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), and captured().
Returns the offset inside the subject string corresponding to the starting position of the substring captured by the nth capturing group. If the nth capturing group did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
See also capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and captured().
Returns the offset inside the subject string corresponding to the starting position of the substring captured by the capturing group named name. If the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
See also capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and captured().
[since 5.10] qsizetype QRegularExpressionMatch::capturedStart(QStringView name) const
Returns the offset inside the subject string corresponding to the starting position of the substring captured by the capturing group named name. If the capturing group named name did not capture a string or doesn't exist, returns -1.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and captured().
Returns a list of all strings captured by capturing groups, in the order the groups themselves appear in the pattern string. The list includes the implicit capturing group number 0, capturing the substring matched by the entire pattern.
[since 5.10] QStringView QRegularExpressionMatch::capturedView(int nth = 0) const
Returns a view of the substring captured by the nth capturing group.
If the nth capturing group did not capture a string, or if there is no such capturing group, returns a null QStringView.
Note: The implicit capturing group number 0 captures the substring matched by the entire pattern.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

See also captured(), capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), capturedLength(), and QStringView::isNull().
Returns true if the regular expression matched against the subject string, or false otherwise.
See also QRegularExpression::match() and hasPartialMatch().
Returns true if the regular expression partially matched against the subject string, or false otherwise.
Note: Only a match that explicitly used the one of the partial match types can yield a partial match. Still, if such a match succeeds totally, this function will return false, while hasMatch() will return true.
See also QRegularExpression::match(), QRegularExpression::MatchType, and hasMatch().
Returns true if the match object was obtained as a result from the QRegularExpression::match() function invoked on a valid QRegularExpression object; returns false if the QRegularExpression was invalid.
See also QRegularExpression::match() and QRegularExpression::isValid().
Returns the index of the last capturing group that captured something, including the implicit capturing group 0. This can be used to extract all the substrings that were captured:
QRegularExpressionMatch match = re.match(string);
for (int i = 0; i <= match.lastCapturedIndex(); ++i) {
QString captured = match.captured(i);
// ...
} Note that some of the capturing groups with an index less than lastCapturedIndex() could have not matched, and therefore captured nothing.
If the regular expression did not match, this function returns -1.
See also captured(), capturedStart(), capturedEnd(), and capturedLength().
Returns the match options that were used to get this QRegularExpressionMatch object, that is, the match options that were passed to QRegularExpression::match() or QRegularExpression::globalMatch().

See also QRegularExpression::match(), matchType(), and matchOptions().
Swaps the match result other with this match result. This operation is very fast and never fails.
Writes the match object match into the debug object debug for debugging purposes.
