Use regex_search. regex_match will only succeed if the expression matches *all* of the string, regex_search will *find* a sub-string that matches.
Just to clarify this point. Does this mean that regex_match effectively puts ^ and $ on either side of my regex, to ensure it matches the whole string, whereas regex_search does not?
