[RegExp->MatchesStart] checks whether the replace pattern matches the start of the input string. The tag accepts a single parameter which is the position at which to check and returns true or false. The example code will return true since the find pattern matches the character at position 2 "o" even though it does not match the remainder of the input string.
[Var: 'myRegExp' = (RegExp:
[$myRegExp->(Input: 'fox')]
