```
    Matches using simple regex algorithm.
    
    Specified by:
    
    match in class RegexMatcher
    
    Parameters:
    
    basePattern - the standard digester path representing the element
    
    regexPattern - the regex pattern the path will be tested against
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given pattern matches the given path
  - match
