Matchall()

matchall(<string>,<pattern>[,<delim>])

This function works identically to the match() function, save that it returns all matches, not just the first: It returns the index numbers of all words in the list <string> which match <pattern>.

Example

> say matchall(This is a test of a test,test)

You say, "4 7"

> say matchall(This is testing a test,tes*)

You say, "3 5"
