cpp-fregex

Tiny library for file matching using regular expressions in C++.

Using

This is a source-based library, so copy fregex.cpp and fregex.hpp into your project and #include "fregex.hpp" where you need it. That's it.

Example

root
│ file1.txt
│ file2.txt
└─dir1
│ │ file3.txt
│ └─dir2
│   │ file4.txt
│   │ _file.txt
└───dir3
    │ file5.txt
    │ _file.txt

std::vector<std::filesystem::path> matches = fregex::find(
  "root",             // 1. search path
  "file[2-5]\\.txt",  // 2. regular expression
  true,               // 3. recursive search, off by default
  "debug.log",        // 4. path to debug log file, none by default
);

// matches = [
//    root/file2.text
//    root/dir1/file3.txt
//    root/dir1/dir2/file4.txt
//    root/dir3/file5.txt
// ]
