INDEX(<string>;<string with regex>)
Description
Finds the first occurrence of the given regular expression or -1 if not found.
Datameer tries to match entire record without automatically adding ^ or $ to the regular expression. If the record has multiple lines, then this must be accounted for with (?s) or line terminators.Â
