Matcher.LookingAt Method

Definition

Attempts to match the input sequence, starting at the beginning of the region, against the pattern.

[Android.Runtime.Register("lookingAt", "()Z", "")]
public bool LookingAt ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("lookingAt", "()Z", "")>]
member this.LookingAt : unit -> bool

Returns

true if, and only if, a prefix of the input sequence matches this matcher's pattern

Attributes

Remarks

Attempts to match the input sequence, starting at the beginning of the region, against the pattern.

Like the #matches matches method, this method always starts at the beginning of the region; unlike that method, it does not require that the entire region be matched.

If the match succeeds then more information can be obtained via the start, end, and group methods.
