# getFieldsByRegex

The `getFieldsByRegex` method returns all document fields where the field name or path matches a regular expression.

## Syntax

    getFieldsByRegex( regex [, recursive [, matchFullPath [, caseSensitive ]]])

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`regex` | (string) The regular expression to match field names or paths against.
`recursive` | (boolean, default `true`) Specifies whether to search recursively. If you set this argument to `false`, the method only returns fields at the root of the document.
`matchFullPath` | (boolean, default `true`) Specifies whether to match against the full path of the field. If you set this argument to `false`, the regular expression has to match only the field name.
`caseSensitive` | (boolean, default `true`) Specifies whether matching is case-sensitive.

## Returns

(LuaFields) A list of LuaField objects where each LuaField represents a matching field. To map the returned fields to a table, surround the function call with braces as shown in the following example.

## Example

    local fields = { document:getFieldsByRegex("Prefix_.*", true, false, false) }
    for i, field in ipairs(fields) do
        print field:value()
    end
