Function combine::parser::regex::captures

pub fn captures<F, R, Input>(regex: R) -> Captures<F, R, Input> where
    F: FromIterator<Input::Range>,
    R: Regex<Input::Range>,
    Input: RangeStream,
    Input::Range: Range, 

This is supported on crate feature regex only.

Matches regex on the input by running captures_iter on the input. Returns the captures of the first match and consumes the input up until the end of that match.
