Computer: Language: Compiler: C++: Operation: Search: Replace: Expression: Regular: How to create a regular expression using the free Borland C++ command line compiler bcc32 v5.5?

---

The possibility to use regular expressions is default included in the
free Borland C++ v5.5 command line compiler.

In your C++ program, you will have to include the file

 regexp.h

===

Steps: Overview:

 1. -E.g. create the following program:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


#include <regexp.h>
//
#include <iostream>
//
int main() {
 //
 TRegexp Regexp("[0-9]+");
 //
 size_t Len;
 //
 size_t Idx = Regexp.find( "This is some text 123 with a number", &Len );
 //
 std::cout << "Your text was found at: " << Idx << ", Length: " << Len << std::endl;
 //
}

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 2. -Save this program as

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


 c:\temp\yourregularexpression.cpp

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 3. -Compile the program

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


 C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe -Ic:\borland\bcc55\include -Lc:\borland\bcc55\lib c:\temp\yourregularexpression.cpp

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 4. -That will show a screen output similar to the following:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

c:\temp\yourregularexpression.cpp:

Warning W8026 c:\borland\bcc55\include\regexp.h 81: Functions with exception specifications are not expanded inline

Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 5. -Run the created executable program

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


 yourregularexpression.exe

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 6. -That will show a screen output similar to the following:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
