Display

Check if a string matches with groups

Check if a string contains a match to a regular expression
Display
"ok" if "abc 123 @#$" matches /\d+/
cpp

Loop through a string matching a regex and performing an action for each match
Create a list
[fish1,cow3,boat4] when matching "(fish):1 sausage (cow):3 tree (boat):4" with regex /\((\w+)\):(\d+)/
cpp
Match^ match = Regex::Match("(fish):1 sausage (cow):3 tree (boat):4", "\\((\\w+)\\):(\\d+)");
while (match->Success)

list->Add(match->Groups[1]->Captures[0]->ToString() + match->Groups[2]->Captures[0]->ToString());
match = match->NextMatch();
}
while (match->Success)

Replace the first regex match in a string with a static string
Transform
"Red Green Blue" into "R*d Green Blue" by replacing /e/ with "*"
cpp
String^ Replaced = (gcnew Regex("e"))->Replace("Red Green Blue", "*", 1);
fantom
replaced := Regex<|e|>.split("Red Green Blue",2).join("*")
Replace all regex matches in a string with a static string
Transform
"She sells sea shells" into "She X X shells" by replacing /se\w+/ with "X"
cpp
String^ Replaced = (gcnew Regex("se\\w+"))->Replace("She sells sea shells", "X");
String^ Replaced = Regex::Replace("She sells sea shells", "se\\w+", "X");
csharp

Replace all regex matches in a string with a dynamic string
Transform
"The {Quick} Brown {Fox}" into "The kciuQ Brown xoF" by reversing words in braces using the regex /\{(\w+)\}/.
cpp

String^ Replaced = Regex::Replace("The {Quick} Brown {Fox}", "{(\\w+)}", gcnew MatchEvaluator(&RegRep::RepGroup));
