Make the global flag optional about simple-regex-ts HOT 1 CLOSED

Thank you @kudapara. I really ought to have considered this in terms of the documentation bit. So that behaviour is becuase I added the global flag on the Regex pattern. The flag is useful for cases where you want to search for multiple occurrences of a pattern within a large string. More on that here

So my thoughts are that we probably forgo the global flag altogether and allow package users to be able to add it if they are doing search on a paragraph. Maybe something like this:

const regexWithGlobalFlag = RegExp( SimpleRegex.MobileNumber +'/gm' ).... the new regexWithGlobalFlag could then be used to do searches where all occurrences of the string need to be found.

I think this would keep the package small and simple while providing convenience for users but I am open to hearing from people using the package and see what they prefer so I will invite people to discuss this.
