rexMatchp using pipe and grouping

Hi,

I want to match a string pattern using rexMatchp using only single instance.

I wish to search for VF or VS in the beginning of the target string which can be anything like “VF100” or “VR100” or “VS100”.

Please advice what is wrong with the below syntax, as it returns nil:

Skill > rexMatchp("^V(S|F)" "VF100")

nil

I don’t think the rex* functions support ‘|’ as an alternation metacharacter

Try the pcreMatchp() function as using a pipe is supported in PCRE.
pcreMatchp("^V(S|F)" "VF100") => t.
