(7) (since C++11)

Determines if the regular expression e matches the entire target character sequence. The detailed match result is stored in m (if present).

1,2)

The target character sequence is represented by the range

[firstlast)

.

3,4)

The target character sequence is represented by the range

[strstr + std::char_traits<CharT>::length(str))

.

5,6) The target character sequence is represented by the string s.

7)

The target character sequence cannot be represented by a

std::string

rvalue.

If the match does not exist, the following expressions involving m (if exists) should yield the specified values:

If the match exists, given any integer in (​0m.size()) as n, the following expressions involving m should yield the specified values for each overload listed below:

  1. ↑ The match prefix is empty.
  2. ↑ The match suffix is empty.
  3. ↑ The entire sequence is matched.
[edit] Parameters first, last - the target character range str - the target null-terminated C-style string s - the target std::basic_string m - the match results e - the regular expression flags - flags used to determine how the match will be performed [edit] Return value

Returns true if the entire target sequence matches e, false otherwise.

[edit] Notes

Because regex_match only considers full matches, the same regex may give different matches between regex_match and std::regex_search:

std::regex re("Get|GetValue");
std::cmatch m;
std::regex_search("GetValue", m, re);  // returns true, and m[0] contains "Get"
std::regex_match ("GetValue", m, re);  // returns true, and m[0] contains "GetValue"
std::regex_search("GetValues", m, re); // returns true, and m[0] contains "Get"
std::regex_match ("GetValues", m, re); // returns false
[edit] Example
#include <cstddef>
#include <iostream>
#include <regex>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    // Simple regular expression matching
    const std::string fnames[] = {"foo.txt", "bar.txt", "baz.dat", "zoidberg"};
    const std::regex txt_regex("[a-z]+\\.txt");
 
    for (const auto& fname : fnames)
        std::cout << fname << ": " << std::regex_match(fname, txt_regex) << '\n';
 
    // Extraction of a sub-match
    const std::regex base_regex("([a-z]+)\\.txt");
    std::smatch base_match;
 
    for (const auto& fname : fnames)
        if (std::regex_match(fname, base_match, base_regex))
            // The first sub_match is the whole string; the next
            // sub_match is the first parenthesized expression.
            if (base_match.size() == 2)
            {
                std::ssub_match base_sub_match = base_match[1];
                std::string base = base_sub_match.str();
                std::cout << fname << " has a base of " << base << '\n';
            }
 
    // Extraction of several sub-matches
    const std::regex pieces_regex("([a-z]+)\\.([a-z]+)");
    std::smatch pieces_match;
 
    for (const auto& fname : fnames)
        if (std::regex_match(fname, pieces_match, pieces_regex))
        {
            std::cout << fname << '\n';
            for (std::size_t i = 0; i < pieces_match.size(); ++i)
            {
                std::ssub_match sub_match = pieces_match[i];
                std::string piece = sub_match.str();
                std::cout << "  submatch " << i << ": " << piece << '\n';
            }
        }
}

Output:

foo.txt: 1
bar.txt: 1
baz.dat: 0
zoidberg: 0
foo.txt has a base of foo
bar.txt has a base of bar
foo.txt
  submatch 0: foo.txt
  submatch 1: foo
  submatch 2: txt
bar.txt
  submatch 0: bar.txt
  submatch 1: bar
  submatch 2: txt
baz.dat
  submatch 0: baz.dat
  submatch 1: baz
  submatch 2: dat
[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior LWG 2205 C++11 n could be zero in the postcondition can only be positive LWG 2273 C++11 it was unclear whether partial matches are considered only considers full matches LWG 2329 C++11 overload (5) accepted basic_string rvalues,
which could result in dangling iterators rejected via deleted overload (7) [edit] See also regular expression object
(class template) [edit] identifies one regular expression match, including all sub-expression matches
(class template) [edit] attempts to match a regular expression to any part of a character sequence
(function template) [edit]
