Hey, @simschla, thanks a lot for this change - I'm about to accept it, sorry for the delay - I missed this PR somehow. This is a breaking change, however I feel it's a correct one. Could you answer two small questions? |

I ran into an issue where I have a capture group defined, that is actually optional. Whenever that group cannot be matched (which is ok since it is optional) the
regex.getText(testString, "optionalCaptureGroupName")call would return a string literal"null"instead of an empty string"".This PR provides a test showcasing the problem and a code adaption fixing the issue.
