Regular Expression in C++

RegexDemo.h:

#define REGEXDEMO_H

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>

    public:

#endif // REGEXDEMO_H


RegexDemo.cpp:

{
    //ctor
}

#if 0

    }

    return ios;
}


main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include "RegexDemo.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    RegexDemo reg("Hello, World Ahsan,123Bae!");

    std::cout << "Match1: " << reg.match(".*123!") << std::endl;

    std::cmatch matches;
    if (reg.match("(.*),([0-9]+)(.*)"))
    {
        std::cout << "The matches were: " << reg.get_cmatch() << std::endl;
        std::cout << "The number is " << reg.get_cmatch()[2] << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

The Output


$ ./myregex 
Match1: 0
The matches were: [Hello, World Ahsan,123Bae!] [Hello, World Ahsan] [123] [Bae!] 
The number is 123
