Detailed Description

template<typename _Ch_type, typename _Rx_traits = regex_traits<_Ch_type>>

class std::basic_regex< _Ch_type, _Rx_traits >"A regular expression.

Specializations of this class template represent regular expressions constructed from sequences of character type _Ch_type. Use the std::regex typedef for std::basic_regex<char>.

A character sequence passed to the constructor will be parsed according to the chosen grammar, and used to create a state machine representing the regular expression. The regex object can then be passed to algorithms such as std::regex_match to match sequences of characters.

The syntax_option_type flag passed to the constructor selects from one of the supported regular expression grammars. The default is ECMAScript and the others are basic, extended, awk, grep, and egrep, which are variations on POSIX regular expressions.
