re_match()
Purpose
re_match(expr, re)
Returns 1, if expr matches re, 0 otherwise. Uses POSIX ERE. In contrast to re_match_i() the matching is case-sensitive.
Note
Functions using regular expressions tend to be slow and other options may be faster.
Example
In the following example it is checked if the msg object matches the regex string.
re_match($msg,'(5[1-5][0-9]{14})')
