title: is it possible to use regex in c++?
body: <p>Duplicate of: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/329517/there-is-a-function-to-use-pattern-matching-using-regular-expressions-in-c">There is a function to use pattern matching (using regular expressions) in C++?</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure where one would use it... are there any parser-type functions that take some regex as an argument or something? I just found out that my editor will highlight a line after / as "regex" for C/C++ syntax which I thought was weird...</p>
