Returns a 2-element array containing the beginning and ending
offsets (in characters) of the specified match.
When non-negative integer argument +n+ is given,
returns the starting and ending offsets of the nth match:
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138.")
# => #
m[0] # => "HX1138"
m.offset(0) # => [1, 7]
m[3] # => "113"
m.offset(3) # => [3, 6]
m = /(т)(е)(с)/.match('тест')
# => #
m[0] # => "тес"
m.offset(0) # => [0, 3]
m[3] # => "с"
m.offset(3) # => [2, 3]
When string or symbol argument +name+ is given,
returns the starting and ending offsets for the named match:
m = /(?.)(.)(?.)/.match("hoge")
# => #
m[:foo] # => "h"
m.offset('foo') # => [0, 1]
m[:bar] # => "g"
m.offset(:bar) # => [2, 3]
