The regular expressions library provides an object to represent a regular expression, which is a kind of mini-language used to represent pattern matching within strings, a set of algorithms to apply the regular expression to target strings, and a set of helper classes associated with using the results of the application of the regular expression to those target strings.
Contents |
Main classes
These classes encapsulate a regular expression and the results of matching a regular expression within a target sequence of characters.
| (C++11) |
regular expression object (class template) |
| (C++11) |
identifies a sub match in the analyzed string (class template) |
| (C++11) |
identifies all matching results (class template) |
Algorithms
These functions are used to apply the regular expression encapsulated in a regex to a target sequence of characters..
| (C++11) |
try to match a regular expression with a complete string (function template) |
| (C++11) |
check if a regular expression occurs anywhere within a string (function template) |
| (C++11) |
replace occurrences of a regular expression with some other text (function template) |
Iterators
The regex iterators are used to traverse the entire set of regular expression matches found within a sequence.
| (C++11) |
(class template) |
| (C++11) |

Exceptions
This class defines the type of objects thrown as exceptions to report errors from the regular expressions library.
| (C++11) |

Traits
The regex traits class is used to encapsulate the localizable aspects of a regex.
| (C++11) |
