Returns the match, if any, of string to pattern, using
java.util.regex.Matcher.matches(). Uses re-groups to return the
groups.
;; The distinction is that re-find tries to find _any part_ of the string ;; that matches the pattern, but re-matches only matches if the _entire_ ;; string matches the pattern. user=> (re-matches #"hello" "hello, world") nil user=> (re-matches #"hello.*" "hello, world") "hello, world" user=> (re-matches #"hello, (.*)" "hello, world") ["hello, world" "world"]
