Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class Match _
    Implements IEnumerable(Of Tuple), IEnumerable

public class Match : IEnumerable<Tuple>, 
    IEnumerable

public ref class Match : IEnumerable<Tuple^>,

The Match type exposes the following members.

Constructors

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether two Match objects have the same left and right spans. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetEnumerator	Gets an enumerator typed as a Tuple<T1, T2> of integers.
	GetHashCode	Provides a hash function. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Given two sequences of characters:

abCCd (left)

abFFd (right)

The generated pairs of matches would be:

(0, 0), (1, 1), (4, 4)

This becomes the two Matches (left-start, right-start, length):

(0, 0, 2) and (4, 4, 1).

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
