regexp in lua

[Walter Rodrigo de Sá Cruz <waltercruz@...>]

Hey guys! I get in this list today :)

In PHP, I can make this with preg:


preg_match('/^(\/var\/www\/)(.*)/', '/var/www/files/index.php', $array_result);

and I will get:
$array_result[0] = /var/www/files/index.php
$array_result[1] = /var/www/
$array_result[2] = files/index.php

How can I get a similar thing in Lua ?
