Convert Regex match into string

Question

I have a RegexMatch object which I'd like to convert into a string:

mm = match(r"(?<=Info: ).+", "Info: Kim")

However, I can't figure out how to convert it into a string. The following does not work:

• String(mm)
• convert(String, mm)

How is this supposed to be accomplished?

Answer 1

You can also use capturing group and index:

julia> mm = match(r"((?<=Info: ).+)", "Info: Kim")
RegexMatch("Kim", 1="Kim")

julia> mm[1]
"Kim"

Answer 2

The field .match will convert the match object into a string.

mm.match
