Regex.matchFull

Scans for a match in string for the pattern in @regex. The @match_options are combined with the match options specified when the @regex structure was created, letting you have more flexibility in reusing #GRegex structures.

Setting @start_position differs from just passing over a shortened string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL in the case of a pattern that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion, such as "\b".

A #GMatchInfo structure, used to get information on the match, is stored in @match_info if not %NULL. Note that if @match_info is not %NULL then it is created even if the function returns %FALSE, i.e. you must free it regardless if regular expression actually matched.

@string is not copied and is used in #GMatchInfo internally. If you use any #GMatchInfo method (except g_match_info_free()) after freeing or modifying @string then the behaviour is undefined.

To retrieve all the non-overlapping matches of the pattern in string you can use g_match_info_next().
