The 35th Developer camp will be held in Japan on March 15, 2018.
The venue is Tokyo Akihabara UDX GALLERY NEXT.
C++Builder 10.2.2 is one of the merits of being able to use RTL and STL.
For RTL, the classes on Regular expressions are TRegEx, TPerlRegEx.
But, since std::regexSTL can also be used, I set the target device to iOS this time and tried it.
I tried four…
