Lua functions

re.find , re.gsub, re.match, re.gmatch are available. These functions have the same API as Lua pattern match. gluare uses the Go regexp package, so you can use regular expressions that are supported in the Go regexp package.

In addition, the following functions are defined:

gluare.quote(s string) -> string Arguments:

=========================== ============================================== s string a string value to escape meta characters =========================== ==============================================

Returns:

=========================== ============================================== string escaped string =========================== ==============================================

gluare.quote returns a string that quotes all regular expression metacharacters inside the given text.
