Method Detail

### find

    public boolean find()

  Attempt to find the next match.

  If the pattern can be found, then this will return true. If it could not, then it will return false. This is convenient within for or while loops.

  Each time this is called, the next match will be found. The start() and end() values will increase each time, regardless of wether you called any other methods.

  Returns:
    true if there is another match

### start

### end

    public int end()

  Description copied from interface: `BioMatcher`
