Dave.
I have asked the same question. I am thinking it would be great if UVM can add one line of explanation on uvm_re_match(), instead of users have to look into the code or C code to figure it out. IMHO.

Yes. That would be helpful. I also tried doing comparison as below, but its misleading.

      // Does not work
      if(uvm_re_match(re, name))
         $display("Match Detected");
 
      // Works
      if(!uvm_re_match(re, name))
         $display("Match Detected");
