<p>The regular expressions library provides a class that represents <a href="http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Regular_expression" class="extiw" title="enwiki:Regular expression">regular expressions</a>, which are a kind of mini-language used to perform pattern matching within strings. Almost all operations with regexes can be characterized by operating on several of the following objects:
</p>
<ul><li> <b>Target sequence</b>. The character sequence that is searched for a pattern. This may be a range specified by two iterators, a null-terminated character string or <span class="t-lc"><a href="string/basic_string.html" title="cpp/string/basic string">std::string</a></span>.
</li></ul>
<ul><li> <b>Pattern</b>. This is the regular expression itself. It determines what constitutes a match. It is an object of type <span class="t-lc"><a href="regex/basic_regex.html" title="cpp/regex/basic regex">std::basic_regex</a></span>, constructed from a string with special syntax. See <a href="regex/syntax_option_type.html" title="cpp/regex/syntax option type"> syntax_option_type</a> for the description of supported syntax variations.
</li></ul>
<ul><li> <b>Matched array</b>. The information about matches may be retrieved as an object of type <span class="t-lc"><a href="regex/match_results.html" title="cpp/regex/match results">std::match_results</a></span>.
</li></ul>
<ul><li> <b>Replacement string</b>. This is a string that determines how to replace the matches, see <a href="regex/match_flag_type.html" title="cpp/regex/match flag type"> match_flag_type</a> for the description of supported syntax variations. 
</li></ul>
