How to determine if a string contains a regular expression in Scala?

Program to check if a string contains a regular expression

object myObject {
    
    def main(args: Array[String]) {
        val bike = "harley davidson Iron 883"    
        val numRegex = "[0-9]+".r

        println("String: "+bike)

        val matchPattern = numRegex.findFirstIn(bike)

        print("Pattern found "+matchPattern)
    }

Pattern found Some(883)

Explanation:

In this program, we have a string with is to be checked for regular expression which is created using the .r method. The method findFirstIn() is used to check for the presence of the pattern in the string which returns a none if no match is found and the matched string if a match is found.
