Equivalent to RegExp in Kotlin-CodePudding

In JavaScript, there's a regex function: RegExp test() which gets used a bit like this:

new RegExp('/regex/').test('string to match')

What this does is it tests for a match in a string. If it finds a match, it returns true, otherwise it returns false.

But I can't seem to find an equivalent on Kotlin, Android. Does anyone know if there's something like this or similar on Kotlin?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the contains extension on CharSequence:

"string to match".contains(Regex("regex"))

Or the containsMatchIn method on Regex:

Regex("regex").containsMatchIn("string to match")
