Regular expression match

Anatomy

<match var="var" var_matches="var" pattern="regexp" offset="int">
    string
</match>

Description: MATCH performs a global regular expression match on a subject against a given pattern and assignes the number of full matches to 'var', while the actual matches are assigned to 'var_matches'.

Results are ordered so that matches[0] is an array of first set of matches, matches[1] is an array of second set of matches, and so on.

If the offset is negative it will start that many characters from the end of the subject.
