Detailed Description

template<typename Encoding, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>
class internal::GenericRegex< Encoding, Allocator >

Regular expression engine with subset of ECMAscript grammar.

Supported regular expression syntax:

• ab Concatenation
• a|b Alternation
• a? Zero or one
• a* Zero or more
• a+ One or more
• a{3} Exactly 3 times
• a{3,} At least 3 times
• a{3,5} 3 to 5 times
• (ab) Grouping
• ^a At the beginning
• a$ At the end
• . Any character
• [abc] Character classes
• [a-c] Character class range
• [a-z0-9_] Character class combination
• [^abc] Negated character classes
• [^a-c] Negated character class range
• [] Backspace (U+0008)
• \| \\ ... Escape characters
• \f Form feed (U+000C)
• \n Line feed (U+000A)
• \r Carriage return (U+000D)
• \t Tab (U+0009)
• \v Vertical tab (U+000B)

Note

This is a Thompson NFA engine, implemented with reference to Cox, Russ. "Regular Expression Matching Can Be Simple And Fast (but is slow in Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby,...).", https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html
