public class RegexMatchProcessor

extends AbstractRegexProcessor

Matches sections of text specified by groups in a regex pattern. For example when regex='\s*(\d),\s*(\d)' this Processor will operate against " 1, 2" with the matches: "1", "2". This Processor does not repeat, so in the above case,] it will operate against "1, 2, 3" with "1", "2" and pass on the remainder ", 3" to a subsequent Processor if any.
