...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
regress:
A regression test application that gives the matching/searching algorithms a full workout. The presence of this program is your guarantee that the library will behave as claimed - at least as far as those items tested are concerned - if anyone spots anything that isn't being tested I'd be glad to hear about it.
Files:
bad_expression_test:
Verifies that "bad" regular expressions don't cause the matcher to go into infinite loops, but to throw an exception instead.
Files: bad_expression_test.cpp.
recursion_test:
Verifies that the matcher can't overrun the stack (no matter what the expression).
Files: recursion_test.cpp.
concepts:
Verifies that the library meets all documented concepts (a compile only test).
Files: concept_check.cpp.
captures_test:
Test code for captures.
Files: captures_test.cpp.
grep
A simple grep implementation, run with the -h command line option to find out its usage.
Files: grep.cpp
timer.exe
A simple interactive expression matching application, the results of all matches are timed, allowing the programmer to optimize their regular expressions where performance is critical.
Files: regex_timer.cpp.
The snippets examples contain the code examples used in the documentation:
captures_example.cpp: Demonstrates the use of captures.
credit_card_example.cpp: Credit card number formatting code.
partial_regex_grep.cpp: Search example using partial matches.
partial_regex_match.cpp: regex_match example using partial matches.
regex_iterator_example.cpp: Iterating through a series of matches.
regex_match_example.cpp: ftp based regex_match example.
regex_merge_example.cpp: regex_merge example: converts a C++ file to syntax highlighted HTML.
regex_replace_example.cpp: regex_replace example: converts a C++ file to syntax highlighted HTML
regex_search_example.cpp: regex_search example: searches a cpp file for class definitions.
regex_token_iterator_eg_1.cpp: split a string into a series of tokens.
regex_token_iterator_eg_2.cpp: enumerate the linked URL's in a HTML file.
The following are deprecated:
regex_grep_example_1.cpp: regex_grep example 1: searches a cpp file for class definitions.
regex_grep_example_2.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a global callback function.
regex_grep_example_3.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a bound member function callback.
regex_grep_example_4.cpp: regex_grep example 2: searches a cpp file for class definitions, using a C++ Builder closure as a callback.
regex_split_example_1.cpp: regex_split example: split a string into tokens.
regex_split_example_2.cpp : regex_split example: spit out linked URL's.
