Hi,
I have a search for a regular expression like this.
sregex_iterator cur(buffer.begin(), buffer.end(), defined_re), end; for(; cur != end; ++cur) { ...
But what I really want to do is perform a new regex search starting at the location in the buffer marking the end of the previous search.
That's exactly what sregex_iterator does.
Is there a way to get the buffer index from the previous search so I can start the new search past the previous search?
Okay, seems like you can use:
smatch const &what = *cur; what.position();
to give you the byte offset into the buffer.
That would give you the offset (aka, distance; NOT the byte offset) of where the last match *begins*, not where it ends. Confuzzled, -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
