28.6.9.6 Formatting [re.results.form]

template<class OutputIter>
  OutputIter format(
    OutputIter out,
    const char_type* fmt_first, const char_type* fmt_last,
    regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = regex_constants::format_default) const;

Preconditions: ready() == true and OutputIter meets the requirements for a Cpp17OutputIterator ([output.iterators]).

Effects: Copies the character sequence [fmt_first, fmt_last) to OutputIter out.

Replaces each format specifier or escape sequence in the copied range with either the character(s) it represents or the sequence of characters within *this to which it refers.

The bitmasks specified in flags determine which format specifiers and escape sequences are recognized.

Returns: out.

template<class OutputIter, class ST, class SA>
  OutputIter format(
    OutputIter out,
    const basic_string<char_type, ST, SA>& fmt,
    regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = regex_constants::format_default) const;

Effects: Equivalent to: return format(out, fmt.data(), fmt.data() + fmt.size(), flags);

🔗

template<class ST, class SA>
  basic_string<char_type, ST, SA> format(
    const basic_string<char_type, ST, SA>& fmt,
    regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = regex_constants::format_default) const;

Preconditions: ready() == true.

Effects: Constructs an empty string result of type basic_string<char_type, ST, SA> and calls: format(back_inserter(result), fmt, flags);

Returns: result.

🔗

string_type format(
  const char_type* fmt,
  regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = regex_constants::format_default) const;

Preconditions: ready() == true.

Effects: Constructs an empty string result of type string_type and calls: format(back_inserter(result), fmt, fmt + char_traits<char_type>::length(fmt), flags);

Returns: result.
