# namedGroup method

String namedGroup (String name)

The string matched by the group named `name`.

Returns the string matched by the capture group named `name`, or `null` if no string was matched by that capture group as part of this match.

The `name` must be the name of a named capture group in the regular expression creating this match (that is, the name must be in groupNames).

    String namedGroup(String name);
