Feature Request: Allow `regexmatch` on objects other than strings

It would be very helpful to be able to run a regexmatch check on an array, for example.

I found an easier way around the problem I wanted to solve, but the general functionality would still be powerful.

regexmatch("^\d{3}$", [1, 22, 333, 4444]) would match 333. But this opens the question of when the whole test is true. Do all elements of the array have to match (&&) or just one (||). Perhaps this could be an argument to regexmatch(pattern, object, strictness)

That’s right, it would return boolean[]; and yes.

Yeah, I realized after your file.tags use-case that some better array support was needed. I have a slightly different idea for the implementation - I can make common methods like regexmatch “vectorized”, which means they return an array of results if the input is an array. Then, I can add the any() and all() methods, which check if any/every element in an array is true or false. You could then check if any string matches via

any(regexmatch(regex, [...])

and all strings via

all(regexmatch(regex, [...])
