# stringMatch abstract method

String? stringMatch(

1. String input

)

Finds the string of the first match of this regular expression in `input`.

Searches for a match for this regular expression in `input`, just like firstMatch, but returns only the matched substring if a match is found, not a RegExpMatch.

    var string = 'Dash is a bird';
    var regExp = RegExp(r'(humming)?bird');
    var match = regExp.stringMatch(string); // Match

    regExp = RegExp(r'dog');
    match = regExp.stringMatch(string); // No match

## Implementation

    String? stringMatch(String input);
