Method: TOtherGenerex Then<TOtherGenerex, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerexMatch>(Func<TGenerexMatch, GenerexBase<T, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerex, TOtherGenerexMatch>>)

• Declared in: RT.Generexes.GenerexBase<T, TMatch, TGenerex, TGenerexMatch>

Declaration

public TOtherGenerex Then<TOtherGenerex, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerexMatch>(
    Func<TGenerexMatch, GenerexBase<T, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerex, TOtherGenerexMatch>> selector
)

Summary

Returns a regular expression that matches this regular expression, then uses a specified selector to create a new regular expression from the match, and then matches the new regular expression.

Generic type parameters

TOtherGenerex Must derive from: RT.Generexes.GenerexBase<T, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerex, TOtherGenerexMatch>.	Type of the regular expression generated by the selector.
TOtherMatch	Type of internal match information used by TOtherGenerex (i.e. int or LengthAndResult<T>).
TOtherGenerexMatch Must derive from: RT.Generexes.GenerexMatch<T>.	Type of match object returned by matches of TOtherGenerex.

Parameters

Func<TGenerexMatch, GenerexBase<T, TOtherMatch, TOtherGenerex, TOtherGenerexMatch>>

selector

A delegate that creates a new regular expression from a match of the current regular expression.

Returns

The resulting regular expression.
