Performs a regular expression search on input text and returns all matches as a list.

Quick Start

1. Add the Regex Search and Match node to your workflow.
2. Enter the text to search in the "text_input" field.
3. Provide a valid regular expression in the "regex_pattern" field.
4. Run the node to retrieve all matches.

Setup Guide

1. Add Node to Workflow

1. Open your node editor.
2. Drag the Regex Search and Match node into your workspace.

2. Configure Inputs

1. Enter the text you want to search.
2. Specify the regex pattern for matching.

Configuration

Required Inputs

Field	Description	Type	Example
text_input	The input text to search for matches	STRING	"Find all words here"

Best Practices

Regex Construction

• Test your regex patterns before use.
• Use raw strings (prefix with r) to avoid escape issues.

Performance

• Use specific patterns to avoid excessive backtracking.
• Limit input size for large-scale searches.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• No matches found: Check your regex pattern and input text for correctness.
• Invalid regex error: Ensure your pattern is valid and properly escaped.
