23.10. Wrap-Up

In this chapter we discussed various aspects of the future of C++. We introduced the Boost C++ Libraries and described some of the most popular libraries.

We discussed the regex library and the symbols that are used to form regular expressions. We provided examples of how to use regular-expression classes, including regex, match_results and regex_token_iterator. You learned how to find patterns in a string and match entire strings to patterns with algorithms regex_search and regex_match. We demonstrated how to replace characters in a string with regex_replace and how to split strings into tokens with a regex_token_iterator.
