Function: MATCH
Syntax: MATCH(string, regex) or alternatively the shorthand version string ~ regex
Description: Returns true if the first argument matches the regular expression provided as the second argument. Also available as ~.
Matching is case insensitive by default. You can make the regex case sensitive by adding (?c) at the beginning of your regex.
The regex must be a POSIX regular expression. You can use this tool to test regular your expressions
Sample usage:
MATCH(author_username, "^jo")=author_username ~ "^jo"returnstruewhen the author username starts with "jo".MATCH(url, "github.com")returnstruewhen the URL contains "github.com", otherwise returnsfalse.title ~ "(?c)fix"returnstruewhen the title of the item contains "fix" at any place in a case sensitive manner. Otherwise returnsfalse.
