I got some problem with regex and I can't really figure out the issue I have. By the way I'm pretty new with regex and I've followed a guide to get through it.

Here my code:

PHP Code:

std::string buffer = "\"Nighty's<16><STEAM_X:X:XXXXXXX><Blue>\" changed role to \"scout\"";

        std::regex e("\"([[:w:]]+)<([[:w:]]+)><([[:w:]]+)><([[:w:]]+)>\" changed role to \"([[:w:]]+)\"");
        std::sregex_iterator regex_buffer(buffer.cbegin(), buffer.cend(), e);
        std::sregex_iterator end;
        while (regex_buffer != end)
        {
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(0) << std::endl;
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(1) << std::endl;
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(2) << std::endl;
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(3) << std::endl;
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(4) << std::endl;
            std::cout << regex_buffer->str(5) << std::endl;
            ++regex_buffer;
        }

Use an online regex tester tool. When the pattern does not match this has nothing to do with any C++ specific. It's a general problem in your pattern.

Thx for the advise, I've been playing around with the regexp web tool for hours and I could not figure it out.

Alrite I got it, not the best but work the way I want:

PHP Code:

"(.*?)<(.*?)><(.*?)><(.*?)>" changed role to "(.*?)" 


(.*?) is my savior, it grab anything until the next char outside of the () is reach.

Thank you
