REGEXMATCH

Whether a piece of text matches a regular expression.

Sample Usage

REGEXMATCH("Spreadsheets", "S.r")

Syntax

REGEXMATCH(text, regular_expression)

• text - The text to be tested against the regular expression.
• regular_expression - The regular expression to test the text against.

Notes

• Google products use RE2 for regular expressions. Google Sheets supports RE2 except Unicode character class matching. Learn more on how to use RE2 expressions.
• This function only works with text (not numbers) as input and returns a logical value, i.e. TRUE or FALSE, as output. If numbers are used as input, convert them to text using the TEXT function.
