A phrase matching a regular expression, with location information.

**Referenced by:** [`DocTextFinder`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl21/ModernCPP/21.4.0/class/DocTextFinder.md)

**Uses types:** [`DocTextFinderQuadInfo`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl21/ModernCPP/21.4.0/class/DocTextFinderQuadInfo.md)

## Constructors

### DocTextFinderMatch

```cpp
datalogics_interface::DocTextFinderMatch::DocTextFinderMatch()=default
```

*constructor*

Default constructor. Produces an empty match with no quad-info.

### DocTextFinderMatch

```cpp
datalogics_interface::DocTextFinderMatch::DocTextFinderMatch(std::string match_string, std::vector< DocTextFinderQuadInfo > quad_info)
```

*constructor*

**Parameters**

- `match_string` (`std::string`): The text that matched the regular expression.
- `quad_info` ([`std::vector< DocTextFinderQuadInfo >`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl21/ModernCPP/21.4.0/class/DocTextFinderQuadInfo.md)): Bounding-box quads (with page numbers) that cover the matched text; one entry per page the match spans.

Construct a match from the matched text and its bounding boxes.

## Methods

### get_match_string

```cpp
const std::string & datalogics_interface::DocTextFinderMatch::get_match_string() const
```

**Returns:** `const std::string &`

The matched text string from the document.

Gets the text string that matched the regular expression.

### get_quad_info

```cpp
const std::vector< DocTextFinderQuadInfo > & datalogics_interface::DocTextFinderMatch::get_quad_info() const
```

**Returns:** [`const std::vector< DocTextFinderQuadInfo > &`](https://docs.datalogics.com/apdfl21/ModernCPP/21.4.0/class/DocTextFinderQuadInfo.md)

A list of DocTextFinderQuadInfo objects describing where the match is located.

Gets the quad info and page numbers for the matched text.

Each DocTextFinderQuadInfo in the returned list contains the page number and bounding box quads for a portion of the matched text.
