# Boost.Regex

## Examples

###

There are three demo applications that ship with this library, they all come with makefiles for Borland, Microsoft and gcc compilers, otherwise you will have to create your own makefiles.

##### regress.exe:

A regression test application that gives the matching/searching algorithms a full workout. The presence of this program is your guarantee that the library will behave as claimed - at least as far as those items tested are concerned - if anyone spots anything that isn't being tested I'd be glad to hear about it.

Files: parse.cpp, regress.cpp, tests.cpp.

##### jgrep.exe

A simple grep implementation, run with no command line options to find out its usage. Look at fileiter.cpp/fileiter.hpp and the mapfile class to see an example of a "smart" bidirectional iterator that can be used with boost.regex or any other STL algorithm.

Files: jgrep.cpp, main.cpp.

##### timer.exe

A simple interactive expression matching application, the results of all matches are timed, allowing the programmer to optimize their regular expressions where performance is critical.

Files: regex_timer.cpp.

##### Code snippets

The snippets examples contain the code examples used in the documentation:

credit_card_example.cpp: Credit card number formatting code.

partial_regex_grep.cpp: Search example using partial matches.

partial_regex_match.cpp: regex_match example using partial matches.

regex_grep_example_1.cpp: regex_grep example 1: searches a cpp file for class definitions.

regex_grep_example_2.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a global callback function.

regex_grep_example_3.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a bound member function callback.

regex_grep_example_4.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a C++ Builder closure as a callback.

regex_match_example.cpp: ftp based regex_match example.

regex_merge_example.cpp: regex_merge example: converts a C++ file to syntax highlighted HTML.

regex_replace_example.cpp: regex_replace example: converts a C++ file to syntax highlighted HTML

regex_search_example.cpp: regex_search example: searches a cpp file for class definitions.

regex_split_example_1.cpp: regex_split example: split a string into tokens.

regex_split_example_2.cpp : regex_split example: spit out linked URL's.
