# text var (regex)

Source: https://ref.dm-lang.org/regex/var/text
Added in BYOND 510.

If this is a global pattern (using the "g" flag), then after a call to Find() this var contains the text that was searched. If that same text is searched again, the next var is the default starting position.

Replace() on a non-global pattern will store the text *after* replacement here.
