Use boost in ROS1/2, such as the following:
Cite the following program:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>
int main() {
std::string fnames[] = {"foo.txt", "bar.txt", "test", "a0.txt", "AAA.txt"};
// In C++, `\` will be used as an escape character in the string.
// In order for `\.` to be passed as a regular expression,
// it is necessary to perform second escaping of `\`, thus we have `\\.`
std::regex txt_regex("[a-z]+\\.txt");
for (const auto &fname: fnames)
std::cout << fname << ": " << std::regex_match(fname, txt_regex) << std::endl;
std::regex base_regex("([a-z]+)\\.txt");
std::smatch base_match;
for(const auto &fname: fnames) {
if (std::regex_match(fname, base_match, base_regex)) {
// the first element of std::smatch matches the entire string
// the second element of std::smatch matches the first expression with brackets
if (base_match.size() == 2) {
std::string base = base_match[1].str();
std::cout << "sub-match[0]: " << base_match[0].str() << std::endl;
std::cout << fname << " sub-match[1]: " << base << std::endl;
}
}
}
return 0;
}
