Regex - hyperlink match/submatch problem
Dear forum members:
I’m hoping that someone can copy and compile the code below and tell me what is
wrong with my expression. I am trying to write a pattern that produces the
following match and submatch:
MATCH:
<a href="http://test1.com">TEST #1</a>
SUBMATCH:
http://test1.com
// main.cpp
#include

Hi Jeff, Your code does not compile but you should check out this website: http://www.cuneytyilmaz.com/prog/jrx/ I use it every time I am playing with regexp. I found out that this expression might suite your needs: (.*?)<\/a> Note the backslashed slash ("\/") at the end of the expression. Hope this helps. PS: on the website I gave you, untick all options but "split input". JD

If you want a set of patterns to be treated as alternatives then you need to separate them with "|". Also you need to double up the escapes on the \s to \\s : remember that the C++ compiler will strip one \ so you need two of them if you want the regex engine to see one. So simply: char exp[] = "
