Check if a string contains a match to a regular expression
Display
"ok" if "abc 123 @#$" matches /\d+/
ruby
puts "ok" if (text=~/\d+/)
erlang
% Erlang uses 'egrep'-compatible regular expressions, so shortcuts like '\d' not supported
String = "abc 123 @#$", Regexp = "[0-9]+",
is_match(String, Regexp) andalso (begin io:format("ok~n"), true end).
String = "abc 123 @#$", Regexp = "[0-9]+",

case re:run("abc 123 @#$", "\\d+") of {match, _} -> ok end.

Loop through a string matching a regex and performing an action for each match
Create a list
[fish1,cow3,boat4] when matching "(fish):1 sausage (cow):3 tree (boat):4" with regex /\((\w+)\):(\d+)/
