# Matching

{% hint style="info" %}
Starting from Pro version **0.9.1-alpha**, VNTranslator supports writing native JS RegExp using the syntax: `/Regexp/flags.`

The instructions below describe the old syntax, which is still supported for compatibility.
{% endhint %}

## Syntax 

`["Regexp", "Flags"], [...]`

## Parameters

* **Regexp** \
  A regular expression object
* **Flags**\
  Regular expressions have optional flags that allow for functionality like global searching and case-insensitive searching

| Flag | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `d`  | Generate indices for substring matches                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `g`  | Find all matches rather than stopping after the first match                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `i`  | If `u` flag is also enabled, use Unicode case folding                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `m`  | Treat beginning and end characters (`^` and `$`) as working over multiple lines. In other words, match the beginning or end of *each* line (delimited by  or ), not only the very beginning or end of the whole input string |
| `s`  | Allows `.` to match newlines                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| `u`  | Treat `pattern` as a sequence of Unicode code points                                                                                                                                                                         |

## Return Value

All results matching the complete regular expression will be returned
