@deftypefn  {Loadable Function} {[@var{s}, @var{e}, @var{te}, @var{m}, @var{t}, @var{nm}] =} regexp (@var{str}, @var{pat})\n\
@deftypefnx {Loadable Function} {[@dots{}] =} regexp (@var{str}, @var{pat}, \"@var{opt1}\", @dots{})\n\
Regular expression string matching.  Search for @var{pat} in @var{str} and\n\
return the positions and substrings of any matches, or empty values if there\n\
are none.\n\
\n\
The matched pattern @var{pat} can include any of the standard regex\n\
operators, including:\n\
\n\
@table @code\n\
@item .\n\
Match any character\n\
\n\
@item * + ? @{@}\n\
Repetition operators, representing\n\
@table @code\n\
@item *\n\
Match zero or more times\n\
\n\
@item +\n\
Match one or more times\n\
\n\
@item ?\n\
Match zero or one times\n\
\n\
@item @{@var{n}@}\n\
Match exactly @var{n} times\n\
\n\
@item @{@var{n},@}\n\
Match @var{n} or more times\n\
\n\
@item @{@var{m},@var{n}@}\n\
Match between @var{m} and @var{n} times\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
@item [@dots{}] [^@dots{}]\n\
\n\
List operators.  The pattern will match any character listed between \"[\"\n\
and \"]\".  If the first character is \"^\" then the pattern is inverted and\n\
any character except those listed between brackets will match.\n\
\n\
Escape sequences defined below can also be used inside list\n\
operators.  For example, a template for a floating point number might be\n\
@code{[-+.\\d]+}.\n\
\n\
@item ()\n\
Grouping operator\n\
\n\
@item |\n\
Alternation operator.  Match one of a choice of regular expressions.  The\n\
alternatives must be delimited by the grouping operator @code{()} above.\n\
\n\
@item ^ $\n\
Anchoring operators.  Requires pattern to occur at the start (@code{^}) or\n\
end (@code{$}) of the string.\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
In addition, the following escaped characters have special meaning.  Note,\n\
it is recommended to quote @var{pat} in single quotes, rather than double\n\
quotes, to avoid the escape sequences being interpreted by Octave before\n\
being passed to @code{regexp}.\n\
\n\
@table @code\n\
@item \\b\n\
Match a word boundary\n\
\n\
@item \\B\n\
Match within a word\n\
\n\
@item \\w\n\
Match any word character\n\
\n\
@item \\W\n\
Match any non-word character\n\
\n\
@item \\<\n\
Match the beginning of a word\n\
\n\
@item \\>\n\
Match the end of a word\n\
\n\
@item \\s\n\
Match any whitespace character\n\
\n\
@item \\S\n\
Match any non-whitespace character\n\
\n\
@item \\d\n\
Match any digit\n\
\n\
@item \\D\n\
Match any non-digit\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
The outputs of @code{regexp} default to the order given below\n\
\n\
@table @var\n\
@item s\n\
The start indices of each matching substring\n\
\n\
@item e\n\
The end indices of each matching substring\n\
\n\
@item te\n\
The extents of each matched token surrounded by @code{(@dots{})} in\n\
@var{pat}\n\
\n\
@item m\n\
A cell array of the text of each match\n\
\n\
@item t\n\
A cell array of the text of each token matched\n\
\n\
@item nm\n\
A structure containing the text of each matched named token, with the name\n\
being used as the fieldname.  A named token is denoted by\n\
@code{(?<name>@dots{})}.\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
Particular output arguments, or the order of the output arguments, can be\n\
selected by additional @var{opt} arguments.  These are strings and the\n\
correspondence between the output arguments and the optional argument\n\
are\n\
\n\
@multitable @columnfractions 0.2 0.3 0.3 0.2\n\
@item @tab 'start'        @tab @var{s}  @tab\n\
@item @tab 'end'          @tab @var{e}  @tab\n\
@item @tab 'tokenExtents' @tab @var{te} @tab\n\

@end multitable\n\
\n\
Additional arguments are summarized below.\n\
\n\
@table @samp\n\
@item once\n\
Return only the first occurrence of the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item matchcase\n\
Make the matching case sensitive.  (default)\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?-i) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item ignorecase\n\
Ignore case when matching the pattern to the string.\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?i) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item stringanchors\n\
Match the anchor characters at the beginning and end of the string.  \n\
(default)\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?-m) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item lineanchors\n\
Match the anchor characters at the beginning and end of the line.\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?m) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item dotall\n\
The pattern @code{.} matches all characters including the newline character.\n\
 (default)\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?s) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item dotexceptnewline\n\
The pattern @code{.} matches all characters except the newline character.\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?-s) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item literalspacing\n\
All characters in the pattern, including whitespace, are significant and are\n\
used in pattern matching.  (default)\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?-x) in the pattern.\n\
\n\
@item freespacing\n\
The pattern may include arbitrary whitespace and also comments beginning with\n\
the character @samp{#}.\n\
\n\
Alternatively, use (?x) in the pattern.\n\
