Syntax
#(%port.regex-match,%regex) #(%port.regex-match,%regex,%notfound) #(%port.regex-match,%regex,%notfound,%timeout) #(%port.regex-match,%regex,%notfound,%timeout,%lookahead)
%port is any port. %regex is the name of a regular expression object used to match against the characters available from the port. %notfound is what should be returned if a match is not found or the timeout occurs. %timeout is how long to wait in seconds for enough characters to be available. %lookahead is how far Tint should look ahead for characters which match. Using %timeout and %lookahead is necessary to constrain matching, otherwise, Tint will keep looking ahead for a match until memory is exhausted for the port is closed from the other side.
