NAME         top

       function::ngroups - Number of subexpressions in the last match.

SYNOPSIS         top

           ngroups:long()

ARGUMENTS         top

       None

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
