    - #### Match

          public Match()

      Creates an instance.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clone

          public Object clone()

      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `Object`

          protected void setNumberOfGroups(int n)

    - #### setSource

          protected void setSource(CharacterIterator ci)

    - #### setSource

          protected void setSource(String str)

    - #### setSource

          protected void setSource(char[] chars)

    - #### setBeginning

          protected void setBeginning(int index,
                                      int v)

    - #### setEnd

          protected void setEnd(int index,

    - #### getNumberOfGroups

          public int getNumberOfGroups()

      Return the number of regular expression groups. This method returns 1 when the regular expression has no capturing-parenthesis.

    - #### getBeginning

          public int getBeginning(int index)

      Return a start position in the target text matched to specified regular expression group.
      Parameters:
        `index` - Less than `getNumberOfGroups()`.

    - #### getEnd

          public int getEnd(int index)

      Return an end position in the target text matched to specified regular expression group.
      Parameters:
        `index` - Less than `getNumberOfGroups()`.

    - #### getCapturedText

          public String getCapturedText(int index)

      Return an substring of the target text matched to specified regular expression group.
      Parameters:
        `index` - Less than `getNumberOfGroups()`.
