FUNCT...GROUPS(3stap) A collection of standard strinFUNCT...GROUPS(3stap)
       function::ngroups - Number of subexpressions in the last match.
           ngroups:long()
       None
       returns the number of subexpressions from the last successful use
       of the =~ regex matching operator.
       Note that this number includes subexpressions which are present in
       the regex but did not match any string; for example, given the
       regex “a|(b)”, the subexpressions will count the group for (b)
       regardless of whether it matched a string or not. Throws an error
       if the last use of =~ was a failed match.
