match() [1/2]

bool reg::match	(	std::string_view	str,
		const Ex &	re )

Matches a given string str for a match against regular expression re.

Returns true iff a match was found for the whole string.

Definition at line 764 of file regex.cpp.

{
  Match match;
  return re.match(str,match,0) && match.position()==0 && match.length()==str.length();
}

match() [2/2]

bool reg::match	(	std::string_view	str,
		Match &	match,
		const Ex &	re )

Matches a given string str for a match against regular expression re.

Returns true iff a match was found for the whole string. Any capture groups are returned via the match object.

Definition at line 759 of file regex.cpp.

{
  return re.match(str,match,0) && match.position()==0 && match.length()==str.length();
}

replace()

std::string reg::replace	(	std::string_view	str,
		const Ex &	re,
		std::string_view	replacement )

Searching in a given input string for parts that match regular expression re and replaces those parts by string replacement.

Definition at line 770 of file regex.cpp.

{
  std::string result;
  Match match;
  size_t p=0;
  while (re.match(str,match,p))
  {
    size_t i=match.position();
    size_t l=match.length();
    if (i>p) result+=str.substr(p,i-p);
    result+=replacement;
    p=i+l;
  }
  if (p<str.length()) result+=str.substr(p);
  return result;

search() [1/2]

bool reg::search	(	std::string_view	str,
		const Ex &	re,
		size_t	pos = 0 )

Search in a given string str starting at position pos for a match against regular expression re.

Returns true iff a match was found.

Definition at line 753 of file regex.cpp.

{
  Match match;
  return re.match(str,match,pos);
}

search() [2/2]

bool reg::search	(	std::string_view	str,
		Match &	match,
		const Ex &	re,
		size_t	pos = 0 )

Search in a given string str starting at position pos for a match against regular expression re.

Returns true iff a match was found. Details of what part of the string has matched is returned via the match object.

An example to show how to match all identifiers in a string.

static reg::Ex re(R"(\a\w*)");
std::string = u8"void(Func是<B_C::Códe42>(42));";
while (reg::search(str,match,re,pos))
{
  std::cout << match.str() << std::endl;
  pos=match.position()+match.length();
}

produces:

void
Func是
B_C
Códe42
