/**
    @class wxRegEx

    wxRegEx represents a regular expression.  This class provides support
    for regular expressions matching and also replacement.

    It is built on top of either the system library (if it has support
    for POSIX regular expressions - which is the case of the most modern
    Unices) or uses the built in Henry Spencer's library.  Henry Spencer
    would appreciate being given credit in the documentation of software
    which uses his library, but that is not a requirement.

    Regular expressions, as defined by POSIX, come in two flavours: @e extended
    and @e basic.  The builtin library also adds a third flavour
    of expression @ref overview_resyntax "advanced", which is not available
    when using the system library.

    Unicode is fully supported only when using the builtin library.
    When using the system library in Unicode mode, the expressions and data
    are translated to the default 8-bit encoding before being passed to
    the library.

    On platforms where a system library is available, the default is to use
    the builtin library for Unicode builds, and the system library otherwise.
    It is possible to use the other if preferred by selecting it when building
    the wxWidgets.

    @library{wxbase}
    @category{data}

    Examples:

    A bad example of processing some text containing email addresses (the example
    is bad because the real email addresses can have more complicated form than
    @c user@host.net):

    @code
    wxString text;
    ...
    wxRegEx reEmail = "([^@]+)@([[:alnum:].-_].)+([[:alnum:]]+)";
    if ( reEmail.Matches(text) )
    {
        wxString text = reEmail.GetMatch(email);
        wxString username = reEmail.GetMatch(email, 1);
        if ( reEmail.GetMatch(email, 3) == "com" ) // .com TLD?
        {
            ...
        }
    }

    // or we could do this to hide the email address
    size_t count = reEmail.ReplaceAll(text, "HIDDEN@\\2\\3");
    printf("text now contains %u hidden addresses", count);

        Some regex libraries assume that the text given is null terminated, while
        others require the length be given as a separate parameter. Therefore for
        maximum portability assume that @a text cannot contain embedded nulls.

        a wxStrlen() will be done internally if the regex library requires the
        length. When using Matches() in a loop the <b>Matches(text, flags, len)</b>
        form can be used instead, making it possible to avoid a wxStrlen() inside
        the loop.
