when I use
template <class traits, class Allocator, class charT> basic_string<charT> regex_replace(const basic_string<charT>& s, const basic_regex<charT, traits, Allocator>& e, const basic_string<charT>& fmt, match_flag_type flags = match_default);
is there a way to make the fmt string be substituted as IT is?
I mean if I specify "(\\)", for instance, I want that actually those four characters to be substituted for the occurrences of e in s, without any interpretation of ( and \.
Of cource I could escape both ( and \, but I was wondering if there's an option to avoid this.
Yes: pass format_literal|match_default as the last parameter to regex_replace, and the string will be treated as a literal, and not a Perl-style format string. HTH, John.
