Return the position where the given substring was found in

|
the supplied string. If the ``REVERSE`` flag was used, the command will
|
|
search for the position of the last occurrence of the specified
|
|
substring. If the substring is not found, a position of -1 is returned.

Match the regular expression as many times as possible and substitute the

replacement expression for the match in the output.

All ``<input>`` arguments are concatenated before matching.
|

The replace expression may refer to paren-delimited subexpressions of the

match using ``\1``, ``\2``, ..., ``\9``. Note that two backslashes (``\\1``)
|

are required in CMake code to get a backslash through argument parsing.

Regex Specification
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
The following characters have special meaning in regular expressions:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
^ Matches at beginning of input
|
|
$ Matches at end of input
|
|
. Matches any single character
|
|
[ ] Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
|
|
[^ ] Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
|
|
- Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
|
|
characters on either side e.g. [a-f] is [abcdef]
|
|
To match a literal - using brackets, make it the first
|
|
or the last character e.g. [+*/-] matches basic
|
|
mathematical operators.
|
|
* Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
|
|
+ Matches preceding pattern one or more times
|
|
? Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
|
|
| Matches a pattern on either side of the |
|
|
() Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
|
|
in the REGEX REPLACE operation. Additionally it is saved
|
|
by all regular expression-related commands, including
|
|
e.g. if( MATCHES ), in the variables CMAKE_MATCH_(0..9).
|
|
|
|
``*``, ``+`` and ``?`` have higher precedence than concatenation. ``|``
|
|
has lower precedence than concatenation. This means that the regular
|
|
expression ``^ab+d$`` matches ``abbd`` but not ``ababd``, and the regular
|
|
expression ``^(ab|cd)$`` matches ``ab`` but not ``abd``.
