@class wxRegEx
wxRegEx represents a regular expression. This class provides support
for regular expressions matching and also replacement.
In wxWidgets 3.1.6 or later, it is built on top of PCRE library
(https://www.pcre.org/). In the previous versions of wxWidgets, this class
uses Henry Spencer's library and behaved slightly differently, see below
for the discussion of the changes if you're upgrading from an older
version.
Note that while C++11 and later provides @c std::regex and related classes,
this class is still useful as it provides the following important
advantages:
- Support for richer regular expressions syntax.
- Much better performance in many common cases, by a factor of 10-100.
- Consistent behaviour, including performance, on all platforms.
@library{wxbase}
@category{data}
Example:
A (bad) example of processing some text containing email addresses (the example
is bad because the real email addresses can have more complicated form than
@c user@host.net):
@code
wxString originalText = "This is some text with foo@example.com and bar@example.com";
// Regex. to match an email address and extract its subparts.
wxRegEx reEmail("([^@ -]+)@([[:alnum:]_]+).([[:alnum:]]{2,4})");
wxString processText = originalText;
while ( reEmail.Matches(processText) )
{
// Find the size of the first match and print it.
size_t start, len;
reEmail.GetMatch(&start, &len, 0);
std::cout << "Email: " << reEmail.GetMatch(processText, 0) << std::endl;
// Print the submatches.
std::cout << "Name: " << reEmail.GetMatch(processText, 1) << std::endl;
std::cout << "Domain: " << reEmail.GetMatch(processText, 2) << std::endl;
std::cout << "TLD: " << reEmail.GetMatch(processText, 3) << std::endl;
// Process the remainder of the text if there is any.
processText = processText.Mid (start + len);
}
// Or this will replace all names with "HIDDEN".
size_t count = reEmail.ReplaceAll(&originalText, "HIDDEN@\\2.\\3");
std::cout << "text now contains " << count << " hidden addresses" << std::endl;
std::cout << originalText << std::endl;

@section regex_pcre_changes Changes in the PCRE-based version
This section describes the difference in regex syntax in the new PCRE-based
wxRegEx version compared to the previously used version which implemented
POSIX regex support.
The main change is that both extended (::wxRE_EXTENDED) and advanced
(::wxRE_ADVANCED) regex syntax is now the same as PCRE syntax described at
https://www.pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2syntax.html
Basic regular expressions (::wxRE_BASIC) are still different, but their
use is deprecated and PCRE extensions are still accepted in them, please
avoid using them.
Other changes are:
- Negated character classes, i.e. @c [^....], now always match newline
character, regardless of whether ::wxRE_NEWLINE was used or not. The dot
metacharacter still has the same meaning, i.e. it matches newline by
default but not when ::wxRE_NEWLINE is specified.
- Previously POSIX-specified behaviour of handling unmatched right
parenthesis @c ')' as a literal character was implemented, but now this
is a (regex) compilation error.
- Empty alternation branches were previously ignored, i.e. matching @c a||b
worked the same as matching just @c a|b, but now actually matches an
empty string. The new ::wxRE_NOTEMPTY flag can be used to disable empty
matches.
- Using @c \\U to embed Unicode code points into the pattern is not
supported any more, use the still supported @c \\u, followed by exactly
four hexadecimal digits, or @c \\x, followed by exactly two hexadecimal
digits, instead.
- POSIX collating elements inside square brackets, i.e. @c [.XXX.] and
@c [:XXXX:] are not supported by PCRE and result in regex compilation
errors.
- Backslash can be used to escape the character following it even inside
square brackets now, while it loses its special meaning in POSIX regexes
when it occurs inside square brackets. In particular, @c "\\]" escapes
the special meaning of the closing bracket, and so does @e not close the
character class. Please use @c "\\\\]" instead.
- Closing parenthesis without a matching open parenthesis is now a syntax
error instead of just being treated as a literal. To fix possible errors
due to it, escape parenthesis that are supposed to be taken literally
with a backslash, i.e. use @c "\\)" in C strings.
- For completeness, PCRE syntax which previously resulted in errors, e.g.
@c "(?:...)" and similar constructs, are now accepted and behave as
expected. Other regexes syntactically invalid according to POSIX are
re-interpreted as sequences of literal characters with PCRE, e.g. @c "{1"
is just a sequence of two literal characters now, where it previously was
a compilation error.

Some regex libraries assume that the text given is null terminated, while
others require the length be given as a separate parameter. Therefore for
maximum portability assume that @a text cannot contain embedded nulls.

a wxStrlen() will be done internally if the regex library requires the
length. When using Matches() in a loop the <b>Matches(text, flags, len)</b>

the loop.
