GLib.Regex.match_simple

function match_simple(pattern: String, string: String, compile_options: GLib.RegexCompileFlags, match_options: GLib.RegexMatchFlags): Boolean {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_regex_match_simple()
}
  

Scans for a match in string for pattern.

This function is equivalent to GLib.Regex.prototype.match but it does not require to compile the pattern with GLib.Regex.new, avoiding some lines of code when you need just to do a match without extracting substrings, capture counts, and so on.

If this function is to be called on the same pattern more than once, it's more efficient to compile the pattern once with GLib.Regex.new and then use GLib.Regex.prototype.match.
