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. 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. -- Noel
