        Notes

        pattern
            A valid regular expression pattern, compatible with the `regex crate
            <https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/>`_.
        literal
            Treat `pattern` as a literal string, not as a regular expression.
        strict
            Raise an error if the underlying pattern is not a valid regex,
            otherwise mask out with a null value.

        Notes
        -----
        To modify regular expression behaviour (such as case-sensitivity) with
        flags, use the inline `(?iLmsuxU)` syntax. For example:

        >>> pl.DataFrame({"s": ["AAA", "aAa", "aaa"]}).with_columns(
        ...     default_match=pl.col("s").str.contains("AA"),
        ...     insensitive_match=pl.col("s").str.contains("(?i)AA"),
        ... )

    def extract(self, pattern: IntoExprColumn, group_index: int = 1) -> Expr:
        r"""
        Extract the target capture group from provided patterns.

        Parameters
        ----------
        pattern
            A valid regular expression pattern containing at least one capture group,
            compatible with the `regex crate <https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/>`_.
        group_index
            Index of the targeted capture group.
            Group 0 means the whole pattern, the first group begins at index 1.
            Defaults to the first capture group.

        Notes
        -----
        To modify regular expression behaviour (such as multi-line matching)
        with flags, use the inline `(?iLmsuxU)` syntax. For example:

        ...             "I Like\nThose\nOdds",

        Extract each successive non-overlapping regex match in an individual string

        1) The `n` input is defined in terms of the number of characters in the (UTF8)

        2) When the `n` input is negative, `head` returns characters up to the `n`th
           from the end of the string. For example, if `n = -3`, then all characters
           except the last three are returned.

        """
        Return the last n characters of each string in a String Series.

        Parameters
        ----------
        n
            Length of the slice (integer or expression). Negative indexing is supported;
            see note (2) below.

        Returns
        -------
        Expr
            Expression of data type :class:`String`.

        Notes
        -----
        1) The `n` input is defined in terms of the number of characters in the (UTF8)
           string. A character is defined as a `Unicode scalar value`_. A single
           character is represented by a single byte when working with ASCII text, and a
           maximum of 4 bytes otherwise.

           .. _Unicode scalar value: https://www.unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_scalar_value

        2) When the `n` input is negative, `tail` returns characters starting from the
           `n`th from the beginning of the string. For example, if `n = -3`, then all
           characters except the first three are returned.

        3) If the length of the string has fewer than `n` characters, the full string is
           returned.

        Examples
        --------
        Return up to the last 5 characters:

        Parameters
        ----------
        delimiter
            The delimiter to insert between consecutive string values.
        ignore_nulls
            Ignore null values (default).
