A "match" class

[Chris Mantoulidis]

I was wondering if there was something like a "match" class in the
std. By match class I mean something like a search tool. That is I
will tell it in what text to search and WHAT to search for. The format
of what I want it to find would be something like:
"abc?efg*mnopq?st*z"

I hope you understand what I mean.

So it a class (or anyway SOMETHING) in the std header files that is
something like that or do I have to implement it myself?

look at the regular expression parsing from the boost library
http://www.boost.org/libs/regex

No.

No, and no.

I know I could have written a class of my own in the meantime but stl
is almost always better than code someone writes. So plz can someone
reply?

Thanks in advance,

Check out boost::regex. Not in the std header files, but may be one day.

thanks guys!

thanks guys!

I'm d/ling it through CVS now; but is that the only way to get it? I
didn't find a link in the boost regex site for a d/l... Is the CVS d/l
fully functional? Here's what I'm d/ling atm: boost_1_31_0.tar.bz2. I
hope this is what I'm looking for...

Thanks for your help guys so far
