basic_regex::operator=

Assigns a value to the regular expression object.

basic_regex& operator=(const basic_regex& right);
basic_regex& operator=(const Elem *str);
template<class STtraits, class STalloc>
    basic_regex& operator=(const basic_string<Elem, STtraits, STalloc>& str);

Parameters

  • STtraits
    Traits class for a string source.

  • STalloc
    Allocator class for a string source.

  • right
    Regex source to copy.

  • str
    String to copy.

Remarks

The operators each replace the regular expression held by *this with the regular expression described by the operand sequence, then return *this.
