<p>The algorithm regex_format is deprecated; new code should use
match_results::format instead.&nbsp; Existing code will continue to
compile, the following documentation is taken from the previous
version of boost.regex and will not be further updated:</p>
<h3>Algorithm regex_format</h3>
<pre>
#include &lt;<a href="../../../boost/regex.hpp">boost/regex.hpp</a>&gt;
2003-05-17 11:45:48 +00:00
</pre>
<p>The algorithm regex_format takes the results of a match and
creates a new string based upon a <a href="format_syntax.html">
format string</a>, regex_format can be used for search and replace
operations:</p>
<pre>
<b>template</b> &lt;<b>class</b> OutputIterator, <b>class</b> iterator, <b>class</b> Allocator, <b>class</b> charT&gt;
OutputIterator regex_format(OutputIterator out,
<b>const</b> match_results&lt;iterator, Allocator&gt;&amp; m,
<b>const</b> charT* fmt,
match_flag_type flags = 0);
<b>template</b> &lt;<b>class</b> OutputIterator, <b>class</b> iterator, <b>class</b> Allocator, <b>class</b> charT&gt;
OutputIterator regex_format(OutputIterator out,
<b>const</b> match_results&lt;iterator, Allocator&gt;&amp; m,
<b>const</b> std::basic_string&lt;charT&gt;&amp; fmt,
match_flag_type flags = 0);
</pre>
<p>The library also defines the following convenience variation of
regex_format, which returns the result directly as a string, rather
than outputting to an iterator [note - this version may not be
available, or may be available in a more limited form, depending
upon your compilers capabilities]:</p>
<pre>
<b>template</b> &lt;<b>class</b> iterator, <b>class</b> Allocator, <b>class</b> charT&gt;
std::basic_string&lt;charT&gt; regex_format
(<b>const</b> match_results&lt;iterator, Allocator&gt;&amp; m,
<b>const</b> charT* fmt,
match_flag_type flags = 0);
<b>template</b> &lt;<b>class</b> iterator, <b>class</b> Allocator, <b>class</b> charT&gt;
std::basic_string&lt;charT&gt; regex_format
(<b>const</b> match_results&lt;iterator, Allocator&gt;&amp; m,
<b>const</b> std::basic_string&lt;charT&gt;&amp; fmt,
match_flag_type flags = 0);
</pre>
