 [name] - A named [[Scripting_Regex|regular expression]], if not defined result from the last [[Scripting_Regex|regular expression]] is returned. (optional) 
 N - If N = 0, number of matches, otherwise the Nth match. 

 *Properties* 

 .pos - Returns the match position in the text. 
 .group - Returns the group position (includes empty groups).
