description: The properties of the "indices" array correspond to the start/end indices of the same values in the match.

MakeIndicesArray ( S, indices, groupNames, hasIndices )
4. Let _n_ be the number of elements in _indices_.
...
8. Set _A_ to ! ArrayCreate(_n_).
...
13. For each integer _i_ such that _i_ >= 0 and _i_ < _n_, do
a. Let _matchIndices_ be _indices_[_i_].
b. If _matchIndices_ is not *undefined*, then
i. Let _matchIndicesArray_ be ! GetMatchIndicesArray(_S_, _matchIndices_).
c. Else,
i. Let _matchIndicesArray_ be *undefined*.
d. Perform ! CreateDataProperty(_A_, ! ToString(_n_), _matchIndicesArray_).
