string_match - a RegEx like script
Not as powerful as RegEx but good enough for some basic stuff
Tutorial below the code
/// string_match(str, match, show_err<optional>)
//
// checks if a string is formatted correctly
//
// returns
// true/false (if show_err = false)
// true/string (if show_err = true)
//
// str string to check, string
// match match format, string
// show_err show where the check failed (optional), bool
//
// made for GMS2
//
/// GMLscripts.com/license

Re: string_match - a RegEx like script
Thanks for the submission, this looks very impressive. It's rather complex and will need some testing and maybe some structural changes to better accommodate this library of scripts. I'm not happy with so many helper functions in the global scope. I want to look into making them method functions inside the primary function. It's not something I've dealt with up to now.

Re: string_match - a RegEx like script
I actually hesitated a bit when I was submitting this script because of the length and complexity

So... I rewrote all the functions and now they are all local
I'm new with GMS2 so I didn't even know that local functions are now a thing (finally tbh)
