                                 to a regex by a regcomp call.
                second argument : a string where this
                                  regex should be matched.

Remarks:
 Compiles regex and calls regex_find_s.
         Does _not_ return any information about the matched
         expression more than matched/not matched; use lower
         level commands regcomp, regexec if in need!
