Method shortest_match

regex/src/re_unicode.rs:617–619

Returns the end location of a match in the text given. This method may have the same performance characteristics as `is_match`, except it provides an end location for a match. In particular, the location returned *may be shorter* than the proper end of the leftmost-first match. # Example Typically, `a+` would match the entire first sequence of `a` in some text, but `shortest_match` can give up

(&self, text: &str)

    /// # }
    /// ```
    pub fn shortest_match(&self, text: &str) -> Option<usize> {
        self.shortest_match_at(text, 0)
    }

    /// Returns the same as shortest_match, but starts the search at the given
    /// offset.
