Syntax: <code>IF_MATCH(target, regex1, result_if_regex1, [regex2, result_if_regex2], ..., [else_result])</code>

Description: Evaluates the <code>target</code> against a list of regular expressions (regexes) and return the result value from the first matching regex. If no regexes are matched then the <code>else_result</code> is returned (or <code>null</code> if none is specified). All the result values must have the same type.

Note that matching is case-insensitive by default. You can make the regex case sensitive by adding <code>(?c)</code> at the beginning of your regex.

<code>IF_MATCH("foo_bar", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>1</code>

<code>IF_MATCH("bar_foo", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>2</code>

<code>IF_MATCH("some_word", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>null</code>, since no regexes match the target value and there are no fallback values

<code>IF_MATCH("some_word", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2, 10)</code> will return <code>10</code>, since it is the fallback value

<code>IF_MATCH(label_names, "(bug|defect)", "bug", "(feat|improvement)", "feature", "other")</code> will reduce labels (e.g. on an issue or PR) to a single keyword using regex matching.

<code>IF_MATCH(sub_type, "(bug|defect)", "bug", "(feat|improvement)", "feature", "other")</code> will regroup an issue sub-type (e.g. from Jira) into broader categories using regex matching.

- <code>IF_MATCH("foo_bar", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>1</code>
- <code>IF_MATCH("bar_foo", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>2</code>
- <code>IF_MATCH("some_word", "^foo", 1, "^bar", 2)</code> will return <code>null</code>, since no regexes match the target value and there are no fallback values
