out_str regex_replace(const& input, const& regex, const& format_str,
[flags])
Replace substrings matching the regex according to the formatting string
Regex flags affecting regex_replace
format_no_copy Don't output the parts of the input string before and after the match
format_first_only Only replace the first occurrence of the found pattern
Format specifiers
$0 or $& The string matching the whole regex
$n The string matching the n-th capture group, where n >=
$` The part of the source string that comes before the substring in $0
$' The part of the source string that comes after the substring in $0

bool regex_search
Returns true if a substring of the input string matches the regex-
+ame parameters as regex_match
Regex constr0ctor flags affecting regex_match & regex_search
matc_not_bol Don't treat the first position in the input as the beginning of line
matc_not_eol Don't treat the past-the-end position in the input as the end of a line
matc_not_bo1 Don't treat the first position in the input as the beginning of a word
matc_not_eo1 Don't treat the past-the-end position in the input as the end of a word
matc_any 'ny match is acceptable when more than one match is possible
matc_not_n0ll Don't match an empty input
matc_contin0o0s Don't search for matches other than at the beginning of the input
matc_pre8_a8ail --first is a "alid iterator- if set, ignore match_not_bol and
