    int i
)
member IsMatch :

        i:int -> bool 
public function IsMatch(
    search : String, 
    i : int
) : boolean

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
true if the regular expression finds a match; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The IsMatch method is typically used to validate a string or to ensure that a string conforms to a particular pattern without retrieving that string for subsequent manipulation. If you want to determine whether one or more strings match a regular expression pattern and then retrieve them for subsequent manipulation, call the Match or Matches method.
