| xref:BloombergLP/bdlpcre/RegEx.adoc[`RegEx`] 
| This class provides a mechanism for compiling and matching regular expressions. A regular expression approximately compatible with Perl 5.10 is compiled with the `prepare` method. Subsequently, strings are matched against the compiled (prepared) pattern using the overloaded `match` and `matchRaw` methods. Note that the underlying implementation uses the open‐source Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE2) library that was developed at the University of Cambridge (`http://www.pcre.org/`).
