Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <regex> int main() { std::regex r1{"abcde"}; std::cout << "r1 has " << r1.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 0 std::regex r2{"ab(c)de"}; std::cout << "r2 has " << r2.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 1 std::regex r3{"a(bc)d(e)"}; std::cout << "r3 has " << r3.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 2 // nested sub-expressions std::regex r4{"abc(de(fg))"}; std::cout << "r4 has " << r4.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 2 // escaped parentheses std::regex r5{"a(bc\\(\\)de)"}; std::cout << "r5 has " << r5.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 1 // using nosubs flag std::regex r6 {"ab(c)de", std::regex_constants::nosubs}; std::cout << "r6 has " << r6.mark_count() << " subexpressions" << '\n'; // Expected: 0 }
Output:
r1 has 0 subexpressions r2 has 1 subexpressions r3 has 2 subexpressions r4 has 2 subexpressions r5 has 1 subexpressions r6 has 0 subexpressions
