I would like to replace the file extensions from .nef to .bmp. How do I do it using regex?
My code is something like -
string str("abc.NEF");
regex e("(.*)(\\.)(N|n)(E|e)(F|f)");
string st2 = regex_replace(str, e, "$1");
cout<<regex_match (str,e)<<"REX:"<<st2<<endl;
regex_match (str,e) gets me a hit, but st2 turns out blank. I am not very familiar with regex, but I expected to have something appear in st2. What I am doing wrong?
try this.
it will match .NEF or .nef
string str("abc.NEF");
regex e(".*(\.(NEF)|\.(nef))");
string st2 = regex_replace(str,e,"$1");
$1 will capture .NEF or .nef
check here
Try this
string test = "abc.NEF";
regex reg("\.(nef|NEF)");
test = regex_replace(test, reg, "your_string");
I suggest not to use regex for such a simple task.
Try this function:
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
std::string Rename(const std::string& name){
std::string newName(name);
static const std::string oldSuffix = "nef";
static const std::string newSuffix = "bmp";
auto dotPos = newName.rfind('.');
if (dotPos == newName.size() - oldSuffix.size() - 1){
auto suffix = newName.substr(dotPos + 1);
std::transform(suffix.begin(), suffix.end(), suffix.begin(), ::tolower);
if (suffix == oldSuffix)
newName.replace(dotPos + 1, std::string::npos, newSuffix);
}
return newName;
}
At first we find a delimiter position, then fetching the whole file extension (suffix), converting it to lower case and compare to oldSuffix.
Of course you can set oldSuffix and newSuffix to be arguments, not static consts.
Here is a test program: http://ideone.com/D09NVL
I think boost offers the simplest and most readable solution with
auto result = boost::algorithm::ireplace_last_copy(input, ".nef", ".bmp");
I think this
string str("abc.NEF");
regex e("(.*)\\.[Nn][Ee][Ff]$");
string st2 = regex_replace(str, e, "$1.bmp");
cout<<regex_match(str, e)<<"REX:"<<st2<<endl;
will work out better for you.

I need to regex search specific chinese pattern from C++ string
For example I have a source string "什么手机好" and a pattern "什么(.*)好"
I use boost::regex_search and wstring to do this , but there is something wrong
when the search string has english or number, the code doesn't work, for example , source string is "abc什么efg手机好" pattern is "什么(.*)好", the code do ACT2. And source string is "" (empty string) pattern is "什么(.*)好" , the code do ACT1
I want to know how to fix it.
func
std::wstring string2wstring(const std::string& s) {
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
int iWLen = std::mbstowcs(NULL, s.c_str(), s.length());
wchar_t *lpwsz= new wchar_t[iWLen + 1];
std::mbstowcs(lpwsz, s.c_str(), s.length());
std::wstring wstrResult(lpwsz);
delete []lpwsz;
return wstrResult;
}
std::wstring ws = string2wstring(s);
boost::wregex wpattern(string2wstring(pattern));
if (boost::regex_search(ws, wpattern) == true) {
do ACT1;
} else {
do ACT2;
}
It is embarrassed that I needn't use wstring to deal chinese regex.
Just making query and pattern gbk-string can fix it.

I want to simplify the signs in a mathematical expression using regex_replace, here is a sample code:
string entry="6+-3++5";
boost::regex signs("[\-\+]+");
cout<<boost::regex_replace(entry,signs,"?")<<endl;
The output is then 6?3?5. My question is: How can I get the proper result of 6-3+5 with some neat regular expression tools? Thanks a lot.
Tried something else with sregex_iterator and smatch, but still has some problem:
string s="63--17--42+5555";
collect_sign(s);
Output is
63+17--42+5555+42+5555+5555
i.e.
63+(17--42+5555)+(42+5555)+5555
It seems to me that the problem is related to the match.suffix(), Could anybody help please? The collect_sign function basically just iterate through every sign strings, convert it to "-"/"+" if the number of "-" is odd/even, and then stitch together the suffix expression of the signs.
void collect_sign(string& entry)
{
boost::regex signs("[\-\+]+");
string output="";
auto signs_begin = boost::sregex_iterator(entry.begin(), entry.end(), signs);
auto signs_end = boost::sregex_iterator();
for (boost::sregex_iterator it = signs_begin; it != signs_end; ++it)
{
boost::smatch match = *it;
if (it ==signs_begin)
output+=match.prefix().str();
string match_signs = match.str();
int n_minus=count(match_signs.begin(),match_signs.end(),'-');
if (n_minus%2==0)
output+="+";
else
output+="-";
output+=match.suffix();
}
cout<<"simplify to: "<<output<<endl;
}
Use:
[+\-*\/]*([+\-*\/])
Replace:
$1
You can test here
If you just want a mathematical simplification, you can use:
s = boost::regex_replace(s, boost::regex("(?:++|--"), "+", boost::format_all);
s = boost::regex_replace(s, boost::regex("(?:+-|-+"), "-", boost::format_all);
for those asking, the {0} allows selection of any one block within the sResult string separated by the | 0 is the first block
it needs to be dynamic for future expansion as that number will be configurable by users
So I am working on a regex to extract 1 portion of a string, however while it matches the results return are not what is expected.
std::string sResult = "MATCH_ME|BUT|NOT|ANYTHNG|ELSE";
std::regex pattern("^(?:[^|]+[|]){0}([^|;]+)");
std::smatch regMatch;
std::regex_search(sResult, regMatch, pattern);
if(regMatch[1].matched)
{
for( int i = 0; i < regMatch.size(); i++)
{
//SUBMATCH 0 = "MATCH_ME|BUT|NOT|ANYTHNG|ELSE"
//SUBMATCH 1 = "BUT|NOT|ANYTHNG|ELSE"
std::ssub_match sm = regMatch[i];
bValid = strcmp(regMatch[i].str().c_str(), pzPoint->_ptrTarget->_pzTag->szOPCItem);
}
}
For some reason I cannot figure out the code to get me just the MATCH_ME back so I can compare it to expected results list on the C++ side.
Anyone have any ideas on where I went wrong here.
It seems you're using regular expressions for what they haven't been designed for. You should first split your string at the delimiter | and apply regular expressions on the resulting tokens if you want to check them for validity.
By the way: The std::regex implementation in libstdc++ seems to be buggy. I just did some tests and found that even simple patterns containing escaped pipe characters like \\| failed to compile throwing a std::regex_error with no further information in the error message (GCC 4.8.1).
The following code example shows how to do what you are after - you compile this, then call it with a single numerical argument to extract that element of the input:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <regex>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char pat[100];
if (argc > 1) {
sprintf(pat, "^(?:[^|]+[|]){%s}([^|;]+)", argv[1]);
std::string sResult = "MATCH_ME|BUT|NOT|ANYTHNG|ELSE";
std::regex pattern(pat);
std::smatch regMatch;
std::regex_search(sResult, regMatch, pattern);
if(regMatch[1].matched)
{
std::ssub_match sm = regMatch[1];
std::cout << "The match is " << sm << std::endl;
//bValid = strcmp(regMatch[i].str().c_str(), pzPoint->_ptrTarget->_pzTag->szOPCItem);
}
}
return 0;
}
Creating an executable called match, you can then do
>> match 2
The match is NOT
which is what you wanted.
The regex, it turns out, works just fine - although as a matter of preference I would use \| instead of [|] for the first part.
Turns out the problem was on the C side in extracting the match, it had to be done more directly, below is the code that gets me exactly what I wanted out of the string so I can use it later.
std::string sResult = "MATCH_ME|BUT|NOT|ANYTHNG|ELSE";
std::regex pattern("^(?:[^|]+[|]){0}([^|;]+)");
std::smatch regMatch;
std::regex_search(sResult, regMatch, pattern);
if(regMatch[1].matched)
{
std::string theMatchedPortion = regMatch[1];
//the issue was not with the regex but in how I was retrieving the results.
//theMatchedPortion now equals "MATCH_ME" and by changing the number associated
with it I can navigate through the string
}
Is there any inbuilt function available two get string between two delimiter string in C/C++?
My input look like
_STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER_
And my output should be
_0_192.168.1.18_
Thanks in advance...
You can do as:
string str = "STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER";
unsigned first = str.find(STARTDELIMITER);
unsigned last = str.find(STOPDELIMITER);
string strNew = str.substr (first,last-first);
Considering your STOPDELIMITER delimiter will occur only once at the end.
EDIT:
As delimiter can occur multiple times, change your statement for finding STOPDELIMITER to:
unsigned last = str.find_last_of(STOPDELIMITER);
This will get you text between the first STARTDELIMITER and LAST STOPDELIMITER despite of them being repeated multiple times.
I have no idea how the top answer received so many votes that it did when the question clearly asks how to get a string between two delimiter strings, and not a pair of characters.
If you would like to do so you need to account for the length of the string delimiter, since it will not be just a single character.
Case 1: Both delimiters are unique:
Given a string _STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER_ that you want to extract _0_192.168.1.18_ from, you could modify the top answer like so to get the desired effect. This is the simplest solution without introducing extra dependencies (e.g Boost):
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
std::string get_str_between_two_str(const std::string &s,
const std::string &start_delim,
const std::string &stop_delim)
{
unsigned first_delim_pos = s.find(start_delim);
unsigned end_pos_of_first_delim = first_delim_pos + start_delim.length();
unsigned last_delim_pos = s.find(stop_delim);
return s.substr(end_pos_of_first_delim,
last_delim_pos - end_pos_of_first_delim);
}
int main() {
// Want to extract _0_192.168.1.18_
std::string s = "_STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER_";
std::string s2 = "ABC123_STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER_XYZ345";
std::string start_delim = "_STARTDELIMITER";
std::string stop_delim = "STOPDELIMITER_";
std::cout << get_str_between_two_str(s, start_delim, stop_delim) << std::endl;
std::cout << get_str_between_two_str(s2, start_delim, stop_delim) << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Will print _0_192.168.1.18_ twice.
It is necessary to add the position of the first delimiter in the second argument to std::string::substr as last - (first + start_delim.length()) to ensure that the it would still extract the desired inner string correctly in the event that the start delimiter is not located at the very beginning of the string, as demonstrated in the second case above.
See the demo.
Case 2: Unique first delimiter, non-unique second delimiter:
Say you want to get a string between a unique delimiter and the first non unique delimiter encountered after the first delimiter. You could modify the above function get_str_between_two_str to use find_first_of instead to get the desired effect:
std::string get_str_between_two_str(const std::string &s,
const std::string &start_delim,
const std::string &stop_delim)
{
unsigned first_delim_pos = s.find(start_delim);
unsigned end_pos_of_first_delim = first_delim_pos + start_delim.length();
unsigned last_delim_pos = s.find_first_of(stop_delim, end_pos_of_first_delim);
return s.substr(end_pos_of_first_delim,
last_delim_pos - end_pos_of_first_delim);
}
If instead you want to capture any characters in between the first unique delimiter and the last encountered second delimiter, like what the asker commented above, use find_last_of instead.
Case 3: Non-unique first delimiter, unique second delimiter:
Very similar to case 2, just reverse the logic between the first delimiter and second delimiter.
Case 4: Both delimiters are not unique:
Again, very similar to case 2, make a container to capture all strings between any of the two delimiters. Loop through the string and update the first delimiter's position to be equal to the second delimiter's position when it is encountered and add the string in between to the container. Repeat until std::string:npos is reached.
To get a string between 2 delimiter strings without white spaces.
string str = "STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER";
string startDEL = "STARTDELIMITER";
// this is really only needed for the first delimiter
string stopDEL = "STOPDELIMITER";
unsigned firstLim = str.find(startDEL);
unsigned lastLim = str.find(stopDEL);
string strNew = str.substr (firstLim,lastLim);
//This won't exclude the first delimiter because there is no whitespace
strNew = strNew.substr(firstLim + startDEL.size())
// this will start your substring after the delimiter
I tried combining the two substring functions but it started printing the STOPDELIMITER
Hope that helps
Hope you won't mind I'm answering by another question :)
I would use boost::split or boost::split_iter.
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/string_algo/usage.html#idp166856528
For example code see this SO question:
How to avoid empty tokens when splitting with boost::iter_split?
Let's say you need to get 5th argument (brand) from output below:
zoneid:zonename:state:zonepath:uuid:brand:ip-type:r/w:file-mac-profile
You cannot use any "str.find" function, because it is in the middle, but you can use 'strtok'. e.g.
char *brand;
brand = strtok( line, ":" );
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
brand = strtok( NULL, ":" );
}
This is a late answer, but this might work too:
string strgOrg= "STARTDELIMITER_0_192.168.1.18_STOPDELIMITER";
string strg= strgOrg;
strg.replace(strg.find("STARTDELIMITER"), 14, "");
strg.replace(strg.find("STOPDELIMITER"), 13, "");
Hope it works for others.

Ok, so I need some info parsed and I would like to know what would be the best way to do it.
Ok so here is the string that I need to parse. The delimeter is the "^"
John Doe^Male^20
I need to parse the string into name, gender, and age variables. What would be the best way to do it in C++? I was thinking about looping and set the condition to while(!string.empty()
and then assign all characters up until the '^' to a string, and then erase what I have already assigned. Is there a better way of doing this?
You can use getline in C++ stream.
istream& getline(istream& is,string& str,char delimiter=’\n’)
change delimiter to '^'
You have a few options. One good option you have, if you can use boost, is the split algorithm they provide in their string library. You can check out this so question to see the boost answer in action: How to split a string in c
If you cannot use boost, you can use string::find to get the index of a character:
string str = "John Doe^Male^20";
int last = 0;
int cPos = -1;
while ((cPos = str.find('^', cPos + 1)) != string::npos)
{
string sub = str.substr(last, cPos - last);
// Do something with the string
last = cPos + 1;
}
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main ()
{
char str[] = "This is a sample string";
char * pch;
printf ("Looking for the 's' character in \"%s\"...\n",str);
pch=strchr(str,'s');
while (pch!=NULL)
{
printf ("found at %d\n",pch-str+1);
pch=strchr(pch+1,'s');
}
return 0;
}
Do something like this in an array.
You have a number of choices but I would use strtok(), myself. It would make short work of this.
