Function erase_all_regex_copy

boost::algorithm::erase_all_regex_copy — Erase all regex algorithm.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/algorithm/string/regex.hpp>


template<typename OutputIteratorT, typename RangeT, typename CharT, 
         typename RegexTraitsT> 
  OutputIteratorT 
  erase_all_regex_copy(OutputIteratorT Output, const RangeT & Input, 
                       const basic_regex< CharT, RegexTraitsT > & Rx, 
                       match_flag_type Flags = match_default);
template<typename SequenceT, typename CharT, typename RegexTraitsT> 
  SequenceT erase_all_regex_copy(const SequenceT & Input, 
                                 const basic_regex< CharT, RegexTraitsT > & Rx, 
                                 match_flag_type Flags = match_default);

Description

Erase all substrings, matching given regex, from the input. The result is a modified copy of the input. It is returned as a sequence or copied to the output iterator.

	Note
	The second variant of this function provides the strong exception-safety guarantee

Parameters:

`Flags`	Regex options
`Input`	An input string
`Output`	An output iterator to which the result will be copied
`Rx`	A regular expression

Returns:

An output iterator pointing just after the last inserted character or a modified copy of the input
