RegEx Matches

Description

Find matches (occurrences) of a RegEx pattern in a string.

This snippet requires the addon skript-reflect to function.

Snippet

import:
    java.util.regex.Pattern
    java.util.regex.Matcher

expression [group[s] %integers% in] match[es] [of] %text% in %text%:
    get:
        set {_p} to Pattern.compile(expr-2)
        set {_matcher} to {_p}.matcher(expr-3)
        while {_matcher}.find():
            while {_matcher}.group({_group} ? 0) is set:
                add {_matcher}.group({_group} ? 0) to {_matches::*} if exprs-1 ? 1 contains {_group} ? 0
                add 1 to {_group}
        return {_matches::*}

Applications

I want to find out what mob is being summoned in a summon command. I will use the following pattern to retrieve the mob that was summoned: /summon (.+?)\s?. The summoned mob is stored in group 1.

broadcast (group 1 in match "/summon (.+?)\s?" in "/summon minecraft:ender_dragon")

The output would be minecraft:ender_dragon.
