31 The algorithm <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_format</span></code>
32 is deprecated; new code should use <a class="link" href="../match_results.html#boost_regex.match_results_format"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">format</span></code></a> instead. Existing code
33 will continue to compile, the following documentation is taken from the
34 previous version of Boost.Regex and will not be further updated:

44 The algorithm <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_format</span></code>
45 takes the results of a match and creates a new string based upon a format
46 string, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_format</span></code> can

56 The library also defines the following convenience variation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_format</span></code>, which returns the result
57 directly as a string, rather than outputting to an iterator.

104 An output iterator type, the output string is sent to this iterator.
