`pcrs_job.Exec`

pcrs_job.Exec — applies a compiled pattern substitution to a subject string.

pcrs_job.Exec(subject, length?=-1)

subject: A subject string for substitution.
length: The length of the subject string. Entering -1 (the default) for this parameter will cause the length of the subject string to be automatically computed.

On success, the new string with the substitutions applied. On failure, an error list with three elements:

car(errlist) = a numeric return code from the failing function
cadr(errlist) = a character position in the pattern where the error occurred, or 0.
caddr(errlist) = an error message, as a human-readable string

This method of the pcrs_job class applies a previously compiled pattern substitution to a subject string.
