Defined in header <regex>
template <     class CharT = char,     class Traits = std::regex_traits<CharT> > class basic_regex;		(since C++11)

The class template basic_regex provides a general framework for holding regular expressions.

Several specializations for common character types are provided:

Defined in header <regex>
Type	Definition
regex	basic_regex<char>
wregex	basic_regex<wchar_t>

Member types

Member type	Definition

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the regex object (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs the regex object (public member function)
operator=	assigns the contents (public member function)
assign	assigns the contents (public member function)
Observers
mark_count	returns the number of marked sub-expressions within the regular expression (public member function)
flags	returns the syntax flags (public member function)
Locale
getloc	get locale information (public member function)
imbue	set locale information (public member function)
Modifiers
swap	swaps the contents (public member function)
Constants
Value	Effect(s)
icase	ignore case
nosubs	don't store sub-expression matches
optimize	faster matching, slower construction
collate	make alphabetic characters local-sensitive
ECMAScript	use an ECMA-262 regex engine
basic	use a basic POSIX regex engine
extended	use an extended POSIX regex engine
awk	use an awk-compatible regex engine
grep	use a "grep"-compatible regex engine
egrep	use an "extended grep"-compatible regex engine

Non-member functions

std::swap(std::basic_regex) (C++11)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
