[, int $flags = 0
[, int $preg_flags = 0
]]] )Create a new RegexIterator which filters an Iterator using a regular expression.

flagsSpecial flags, see RegexIterator::setFlags() for a list of available flags.
preg_flagsThe regular expression flags. These flags depend on the operation mode parameter:

Example #1 RegexIterator::__construct() example
Creates a new RegexIterator that filters all strings that start with 'test'.
<?php
$arrayIterator = new ArrayIterator(array('test 1', 'another test', 'test 123'));
$regexIterator = new RegexIterator($arrayIterator, '/^test/');
foreach ($regexIterator as $value) {
echo $value . "\n";
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
test 1 test 123
