DeepCopy (Regex function)
Return a deep copy of a Regex object (Regex class)
This method makes a copy of the Regex object.
This method is identical to Copy. There is no particular reason to explicitly use DeepCopy instead of Copy but DeepCopy is implicitly called when a Regex object is part of an object tree or forest that is being deep-copied. For more information about deep copyability, see "Copying objects".
