     The ``containsAny()`` method was introduced in Symfony 5.1.
 
+::
+
+You can use ``match()`` to search with a Regular Expression::
+
+    u('avatar-73647.png')->match('/avatar-(\d+)\.png/');
+    // result = ['avatar-73647.png', '73647']
+
+By default, PHP's ``preg_match()`` is used, and you can pass search flags as second argument::
+
+    $string->match('/(a)(b)/', \PREG_UNMATCHED_AS_NULL);
+
+When passing ``\PREG_PATTERN_ORDER`` or ``\PREG_SET_ORDER``, PHP's ``preg_match_all()`` is used.
+Multiple flags can be set with the `|` operator::
+
+    $string->match('/(a)(b)/', \PREG_PATTERN_ORDER|\PREG_UNMATCHED_AS_NULL);
