NSRegularExpressionMBS.numberOfCaptureGroups as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa Regular Expressions	MBS MacCocoa Plugin	21.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Returns the number of capture groups in the regular expression.

A capture group consists of each possible match within a regular expression. Each capture group can then be used in a replacement template to insert that value into a replacement string.
This value puts a limit on the values of n for $n in templates, and it determines the number of ranges in the returned NSTextCheckingResultMBS instances returned in the match... methods.
An exception will be generated if you attempt to access a result with an index value exceeding numberOfCaptureGroups-1.
