String
[LUA 5.1] string.match
function string.match ( s, pattern, init )
Looks for the first match of pattern in the string s.
If it finds one, then match returns the captures from the pattern; otherwise it returns nil.
If pattern specifies no captures, then the whole match is returned.
A third, optional numerical argument init specifies where to start the search; its default value is 1 and may be negative.
