Returns -1 if the group did not match or doesn't exist.
String get_string(name: Variant = 0) const 🔗
Returns the substring of the match from the source string. Capturing groups can be retrieved by providing its group number as an integer or its string name (if it's a named group). The default value of 0 refers to the whole pattern.
