Using Regular Expressions to extract a number of Groups of characters from a string. This can be set up to extract Once or Repeatedly, the Repeatedly is useful for extracting information from a multi-line csv file and returns a list of Biskits each holding the appropriate number of Groups for each line. See Pattern Matching in Conditions for more information on valid Regular Expressions.

Capturing Groups

Capturing groups are numbered by counting their opening parentheses from left to right. In the expression ((A)(B(C))), for example, there are four such groups:

Group zero always stands for the entire expression.

Capturing groups are so named because, during a match, each subsequence of the input sequence that matches such a group is saved.
