[Haskell-cafe] Regex multiple matches

[David McBride]

It is even simpler than that.  The type determines the return value.

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: Bool
True

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: Int
2

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: String
"axxf"

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: [[String]]
[["axxf"],["ayyf"]]

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: [MatchArray]
[array (0,0) [(0,(0,4))],array (0,0) [(0,(4,4))]]

>"axxfayyf" =~ "a..f" :: (MatchOffset, MatchLength)
(0,4)
