[section:regex_token_iterator regex_token_iterator]
The template class [regex_token_iterator] is an iterator adapter; that is to
say it represents a new view of an existing iterator sequence,
by enumerating all the occurrences of a regular expression within that
sequence, and presenting one or more character sequence for each match found.
Each position enumerated by the iterator is a [sub_match] object that represents
what matched a particular sub-expression within the regular expression.
When class [regex_token_iterator] is used to enumerate a single sub-expression
with index -1, then the iterator performs field splitting: that is
to say it enumerates one character sequence for each section of the character
container sequence that does not match the regular expression specified.

[h4 Description]
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.construct1]
regex_token_iterator();
[*Effects]: constructs an end of sequence iterator.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.construct2]
regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a,
BidirectionalIterator b,
const regex_type& re,
int submatch = 0,
match_flag_type m = match_default);
[*Preconditions]: `!re.empty()`. Object /re/ shall exist for the lifetime of
the iterator constructed from it.
[*Effects]: constructs a [regex_token_iterator] that will enumerate one string for
each regular expression match of the expression /re/ found within the sequence \[a,b),
using match flags /m/ (see [match_flag_type]). The string enumerated is the sub-expression /submatch/
for each match found; if /submatch/ is -1, then enumerates all the text
sequences that did not match the expression /re/ (that is to performs field
splitting).
[*Throws]: `std::runtime_error` if the complexity of matching the expression against
an N character string begins to exceed O(N[super 2]), or if the program runs
out of stack space while matching the expression (if Boost.Regex is configured
in recursive mode), or if the matcher exhausts its permitted memory
allocation (if Boost.Regex is configured in non-recursive mode).
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.construct3]
regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a,
BidirectionalIterator b,
const regex_type& re,
const std::vector<int>& submatches,
match_flag_type m = match_default);
[*Preconditions]: `submatches.size() && !re.empty()`. Object /re/ shall
exist for the lifetime of the iterator constructed from it.
[*Effects]: constructs a [regex_token_iterator] that will enumerate
`submatches.size()` strings for each regular expression match of
the expression /re/ found within the sequence \[a,b), using match flags /m/
(see [match_flag_type]). For each match found one string will be enumerated
for each sub-expression index contained within submatches vector; if
`submatches[0]` is -1, then the first string enumerated for each match will be
all of the text from end of the last match to the start of the current match,
in addition there will be one extra string enumerated when no more matches can
be found: from the end of the last match found, to the end of the underlying sequence.
[*Throws]: `std::runtime_error` if the complexity of matching the expression
against an N character string begins to exceed O(N[super 2]), or if the
program runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if Boost.Regex is
configured in recursive mode), or if the matcher exhausts its permitted memory
allocation (if Boost.Regex is configured in non-recursive mode).

template <std::size_t N>
regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a,
BidirectionalIterator b,
const regex_type& re,
const int (&submatches)[R],
match_flag_type m = match_default);
[*Preconditions]: `!re.empty()`. Object /re/ shall exist for the lifetime of the iterator constructed from it.
[*Effects]: constructs a [regex_token_iterator] that will enumerate /R/ strings
for each regular expression match of the expression /re/ found within the sequence
\[a,b), using match flags /m/ (see [match_flag_type]). For each match found one
string will be enumerated for each sub-expression index contained within the
/submatches/ array; if `submatches[0]` is -1, then the first string enumerated for
each match will be all of the text from end of the last match to the start
of the current match, in addition there will be one extra string enumerated when
no more matches can be found: from the end of the last match found, to
the end of the underlying sequence.
[*Throws]: `std::runtime_error` if the complexity of matching the expression
against an N character string begins to exceed O(N[super 2]), or if the
program runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if Boost.Regex
is configured in recursive mode), or if the matcher exhausts its
permitted memory allocation (if Boost.Regex is configured in non-recursive mode).
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.construct5]
regex_token_iterator(const regex_token_iterator& that);
[*Effects]: constructs a copy of `that`.
[*Postconditions]: `*this == that`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.assign]
regex_token_iterator& operator=(const regex_token_iterator& that);
[*Effects]: sets `*this` to be equal to `that`.
[*Postconditions]: `*this == that`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_eq]
bool operator==(const regex_token_iterator&)const;
[*Effects]: returns true if `*this` is the same position as `that`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_ne]
bool operator!=(const regex_token_iterator&)const;
[*Effects]: returns `!(*this == that)`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_deref]
const value_type& operator*()const;
[*Effects]: returns the current character sequence being enumerated.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_arrow]
const value_type* operator->()const;
[*Effects]: returns `&(*this)`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_inc1]
regex_token_iterator& operator++();
[*Effects]: Moves on to the next character sequence to be enumerated.
[*Throws]: `std::runtime_error` if the complexity of matching the expression
against an N character string begins to exceed O(N[super 2]), or if the program
runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if Boost.Regex is
configured in recursive mode), or if the matcher exhausts its permitted
memory allocation (if Boost.Regex is configured in non-recursive mode).
[*Returns]: `*this`.
[#boost_regex.regex_token_iterator.op_inc2]
regex_token_iterator& operator++(int);
[*Effects]: constructs a copy result of `*this`, then calls `++(*this)`.
[*Returns]: result.

[h4 Examples]
The following example takes a string and splits it into a series of tokens:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc)
{
string s;
do{
if(argc == 1)
{
cout << "Enter text to split (or \"quit\" to exit): ";
getline(cin, s);
if(s == "quit") break;
}
else
s = "This is a string of tokens";
boost::regex re("\\s+");
boost::sregex_token_iterator i(s.begin(), s.end(), re, -1);
boost::sregex_token_iterator j;
unsigned count = 0;
while(i != j)
{
cout << *i++ << endl;
count++;
}
cout << "There were " << count << " tokens found." << endl;
}while(argc == 1);
return 0;
}
The following example takes a html file and outputs a list of all the linked files:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
boost::regex e("<\\s*A\\s+[^>]*href\\s*=\\s*\"([^\"]*)\"",
boost::regex::normal | boost::regbase::icase);
void load_file(std::string& s, std::istream& is)
{
s.erase();
//
// attempt to grow string buffer to match file size,
// this doesn't always work...
s.reserve(is.rdbuf()->in_avail());
char c;
while(is.get(c))
{
// use logarithmic growth strategy, in case
// in_avail (above) returned zero:
if(s.capacity() == s.size())
s.reserve(s.capacity() * 3);
s.append(1, c);
}
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
std::string s;
int i;
for(i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
{
std::cout << "Findings URL's in " << argv[i] << ":" << std::endl;
s.erase();
std::ifstream is(argv[i]);
load_file(s, is);
boost::sregex_token_iterator i(s.begin(), s.end(), e, 1);
boost::sregex_token_iterator j;
while(i != j)
{
std::cout << *i++ << std::endl;
}
}
//
// alternative method:
// test the array-literal constructor, and split out the whole
// match as well as $1....
//
for(i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
{
std::cout << "Findings URL's in " << argv[i] << ":" << std::endl;
s.erase();
std::ifstream is(argv[i]);
load_file(s, is);
const int subs[] = {1, 0,};
boost::sregex_token_iterator i(s.begin(), s.end(), e, subs);
boost::sregex_token_iterator j;
while(i != j)
{
std::cout << *i++ << std::endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
